What the heck did I just hear?

So I just overheard my sister's husband Complaining about a really bad toothache and expressing how swollen his gum is. I intervened and told him that it sounds like he has an abscessed tooth and might need to go see a dentist to get that taken care of.

His response: I don't usually go to doctors and stuff. I've had toothaches in the past and I just wait until the tooth is shaking and then I just pull them out myself. I don't trust doctors and stuff.

I just walked away lol..I just didn't have anything else to say. Today's not the day for it tbh..my weekends are for relaxing

It does sound like an abscessed tooth. Maybe when the bacterial infection makes his face swell up in an alarming way, he'll realize waiting for the tooth to get loose is not a wise choice. It's a potentially deadly kind of thing, if not treated with an antibiotic.
