I know what you mean, I have known someone very close to me that had a very similar thing happen. Unfortunately most of the people like this have a very irrational fear of doctors, or had a bad experience with one as a kid, and now think all doctors are bad. This poor man first needs to get counseling, to find out why he is afraid or keeps making excuses, also to get him to understand with modern medicine and special gasses they use, he could sleep through the entire procedure. He may be afraid of being told all the remaining teeth have to come out, but he could have dental implants put in and finally have a beautiful smile and no more pain. The problem with taking the unauthorized antibiotics is he is setting himself up for real trouble because he will one day have antibiotic resistance issues. Also, he may end up with very serious heart health issues, as there is a direct correlation between oral health and a healthy heart (infections in the gums can enter the bloodstream and do serious damage to the lining of the heart). You can be a supportive friend, but ultimately the only one who can help him will be him, when he takes that first step towards self help. :)

that's not question

CAROLINA,
THIS WHOLE THING SOUNS SAD. WHEN HE'S READY FOR DENTUERES THEY WILL BE THERE FOR HIM :-)
