Can a bad tooth abscess cause dizziness?

Yes: Yes. Remember an abscess is an infection and must be treated with antibiotics and some sort of dental treatment.

Yes: Especially if the infected tooth is an upper tooth that the roots are close to or in the sinus cavity. There could be some sort of tmj/tmd issues or even ear problems that need to be dealt with by an ENT dr. Or a md/do.
