Tooth infection on antibiotics no improvement chance of septacmia or brain infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your dentist: Any other treatment is a temporary relief. A tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head, brain and neck. See your dentist ASAP.
