How long does it take for a tooth infection to spread to fetus?

Not likely !: Tooth infections are localized at first. If neglected , an abcess will form. If it goes to your bloodstream , then it can hurt the baby as well. See your dentist early !

See dentist asap: It is important to treat your dental abcess as soon as possible. Any infection can effect both your health and that of your baby. Most dental procedures are safe to perform during pregnancy so don't wait. Call a dentist.
