Yes, but...: Yes, it's possible but we can't determine whether or not it actually is in your case over the internet. Please discuss this with the dentists treating you. If necessary, see another dentist for a second opinion and\or a physician to rule out other medical issues.

Poor prognosis: The damaging microbes from the dental infection grow in the mouth and then find their way by spreading to other organs of the body making you sick. The prognosis of this tooth is poor. The current research points to a higher predictability of success with the extraction and dental implant placement in this situation. See your dentist ASAP.
