A member asked:
How long does it take for an infected tooth to get into bloodstream and possibly cause endocarditis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediately: Bacteria (infection) spreads through circulatory system immediately. Previously damaged heart valves can then act as place where bacteria can settle. Please call your Dentist for immediate treatment.
