Answers:
Yes: tooth issues like this can lead to blood infections, which can quickly affect the brain. There's some large blood supplies running to the brain right in that area; it can get dangerous very quickly. If you have spreading pain like that, I would get it looked at fast. I can guarantee you, it is much cheaper to walk into a dentist or even oral surgeon, than it is to be taken by ambulance to the ER. Or, worst-case scenario, dead, because it affected you so fast you couldn't deal with it yourself or get help in time.Health Question & Answer

I've had bad dental problems and I know the pain can spread in ways that seem strange, it also affected my sinuses.

Unless your jaw is swelling or you have a fever, don't worry about an infection to the brain, see a dentist, if you can't afford to then call one describe the problem and ask if you can make a payment plan or some other arrangements.Health Question & Answer
