Can you get sick from infected tooth?!


Question: Can you get sick from infected tooth.?
Answers:
yes, this is one of the questions that we ask the patient whenever we find an infected tooth."Did you fall sick, got a fever .?" Bacteria from the infected tooth can pass into the bloodstream to make the person sick. Treatment is removal of infection source and proper antibiotic therapy to prevent bacteremia/septicemia. Septicemia is the presence of bacteria in the blood (bacteremia) and is often associated with severe disease.Health Question & Answer

Yes you can. If left untreated, an infection in the tooth can travel into your blood stream or bone and make you very ill. Another thing is because it's in the head, it's closer to the brain so any infection getting in your blood may go to your brain and kill you.
My advice is to get that infection cleared up ASAP! It may be as simple as having the tooth pulled, but you may need a course of antibiotics.
Good luck! I hope this helps.Health Question & Answer
