A member asked:
Have wisdom tooth infection had it for a week and half got antibiotics yesterday how much has the infection spread through my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extensively: Used to think that dental infections were fairly well contained. Huge body of literature written over last few years describes association of inflammatory oral infections with diverse inflammatory damage throughout the body. See an Oral Surgeon for evaluation before you finish your course of antibiotics.
