Will my tooth abcess sprea to my brain?

Although uncommon,: And rare, the answer is yes. Upper teeth, when abscessed, have that potential. See your dentist for treatment!

Rare but yes: An infected upper tooth could spread the infection into your sinus cavity and possibly, if severe enough, into your brain.

Possibly: Dr. Gordon is correct. Remember, antibiotics will help to decrease th acute phase of the infection however establishing drainage and removing the cause of the abscess is most important to prevent spread.

BEWARE: Yes, an abscess (infection) can spread if not dealt with, into the blood stream, tissues, muscles and eventually anywhere where the blood flows- heart, brain, etc. Don't wait to have it treated!

Tooth Abscess: Depending on the extent of the infection, yes it can. All facial abscesses should be addressed ibn a timely manner because they can spread quickly.
