Taking care of a toothache himself:
I had a toothache while working one time which ended up being the beginning of a sinus infection. Every time I opened my mouth, my whole upper gumline throbbed. It was giving me a rocking headache. I couldn’t think straight. I sprayed lidocaine on my gums with no relief and eventually stuck a needle in my gumline and did a nerve block on myself because the pain hurt so much.
