Can bad teeth cause you to get nauseated and sick at your stomach?

Bad teeth: Perhaps. As a dentist I get a little sick just thinking about how some people let their teeth rot away and how it could effect their general health, self esteem, eating ability and lost time from work or school. When I get these types of questions, I picture in my mind the eventual type of situation you see in the adjacent photo.

It might...: Infections, toxins, and rotten food festering in cavities and under the gum line can all add to general health problems. Why don't you seek the care of a local dentist? I'm sure you'll be happy you did.
