Can a tooth abscess cause stomach problems?

Definitely, yes: The only way to cure a dental abscess is with dental treatment. We have now entered an era where some bacterial species are resistant to the full range of antibiotics presently available. See your dentist for re-evaluation and dental treatment. Good luck.

Yes: Abscess is an infection. Spreading infection can damage other organ systems. Antibiotics and OTC pain Meds can upset stomach, as can increased salivation. Untreated Abscess can be life threatening. Get to your Dentist ASAP.
