What is the likeliness of getting a brain abscess from an abscessed tooth on the upper jaw?

---

I have had one for about two and a half years now, and I have my surgery scheduled for three weeks from now. But I've been reading up on all of the different types of infections linked to an abscessed tooth and I must say, it is freaking me the $@#! out..
When I was a kid I had an abcess above my front tooth. It spread pretty fast, within about two weeks I had migraines and two black eyes, it was so horrible!. I surprised you've had yours for so long with no spreading........  (+ info)

Can abscessed tooth cause a brain abscess?

---

I had a cavity 2 yrs ago and the dentist said he would fill it and during the procedure he exposed the nerve. He said I would need a root canal, but I had just found out I was pregnant so I decided to wait. When I finally went to the dentist they said I had an abscess and I needed a root canal but they wanted like $1000.00 and would not accept a payment plan, I went to 3 different dentists and the same thing. I'm sorry but I think that is absolutely ridiculous, most people can not walk in with a grand to take care of a tooth. Anyway 2 yrs later and now I have been feeling really sick, tired, sore neck, dizzy, headache, sinus problems, just totally not like myself, I have passed it off as lack of sleep. Then I heard you can have a stoke or the infection can spread so I went to the dentist and they put me on erythromycin and I go back on Fri for x-rays. Is it possible my infection spread and am I ok while I am on the meds should I have more tests or am I overreacting?
The answer about it only being able to affect your lungs....totally wrong! With that said....you have an infection....and YES it can spread...I had an infection in my top front left tooth....one that I didn't even know existed until I had routine xrays..and by that point, it had spread throughout much of the front part of my hard palate...That tooth ended up needing a root canal...followed by an apicoectomy...and removal of ALL the infected bone....quite a bit of my hard palate...a year later, things are better with it...and the bone has started to regrow...but YES...they can spread and they need to be dealt with....there are some places that will let you use a program called "Carenet", you might want to look into that.  (+ info)

You have come to quite a severe conclusion rather quickly...Maybe you should not try to diagnose yourself & make a point to either see your doctor or go to a walk-in clinic if you are genuinely concerned. You may also like to visit www.webmd.com to help alleviate some of your concern or it may help advise what direction you should take. WebMd is an easy to understand site very user friendly. Hope all goes well for you...relax & take care!  (+ info)

can an abscess tooth go to the brain.?

---

i have an abscess tooth it is swollen on the roof of my mouth and my gums, will this spred to the brain?
Well defenitly if the bacteria reached your blood your brain will not be the first thing to be affected as its highly defensed.
But i think you feel little pressure in your sinus area and a headache and this why you think you might have a brain infection, if this is the case then let me tell you that an abcessed tooth can pass its germs and infection to your sinus and causing all that headache and pressure ,it might be gradually pain or sudden.
But in general we , as doctors, knows that human brain is very hard and rare to get any infection from a tooth.
Hope you find this helpful.  (+ info)
