Prevention is better than cure. There was a time I felt so sick, and I thought it was malaria. I treated it, but still I was still feeling dizzy and weak at some point, so I decided to go for a checkup, and I was recommended to run several tests, and that was how I found out my sugar level was low.

Regular checkups should be done on a regular basis instead of going to the hospital whenever we feel sick, not when the sickness becomes critical.
For instance, let me use my field as an example. Whenever I see patients come in for a dental issue, probably because of pain, and you examine them and their problems aren't just one but many, instead of treating everything at the same time, they just want you to extract that particular tooth giving them so much pain.In this part of the world, it's unlikely for people to go for medical checkups, probably because of cost, waste of time, and so many reasons why people will actually avoid the hospital, but it's necessary.
Most people think if they have a toothache or pain, the actual solution is to go for these local herbs and the like, thinking it will go away. It temporarily does, but what you're not aware of is that you are bringing harm to your other healthy teeth.
Dental caries is a disease that, if not controlled, can cause so many problems to the oral environment. Once it affects a particular tooth, don't manage it; try to see a dentist and quickly save that tooth before it affects another. But if you decide to use herbs, one thing you're not aware of is that it's affecting other teeth around it, and you might not likely remove that affected tooth but more. So why not visit a dentist today to see how healthy your oral environment is and save yourself from future problems?
Additionally, removing a tooth doesn't make you keep having more extractions. I usually get this from patients all the time. Each time extraction is recommended for them, they will like to go for filling to save the tooth, but then the tooth is badly damaged. Even if filled, the pain comes back later, and tooth pain is not something to wish for your worst enemy.
Instead, extraction is recommended and filling for other teeth that likely have holes, but each time they don't really care about others but that particular tooth that is making them feel so much pain.
