How much time does it take for a abscess tooth to cause a brain infection and what are the symptoms?

No set time frame: Treat the abscess ASAP.. you'll have less problems in the long run. Dr Oz calls the maxillary area of your face "The Triangle of Death". Although brain infections from teeth are very rare, they do happen.

DEPENDS: It can vary from days to weeks. It depends on how severe the infection is, if there are any medical issues present, is the proper antibiotics being administered etc. Please have the tooth abscess treated ASAP. Good luck.
