A member asked:
Can tooth abscess (wisdom teeth) cause pain in right armpit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: First, it's extremely unlikely that a tooth abscess can cause pain in an armpit. As a matter of fact I have never heard or seen that in over 40 years of dental practice. Secondly, pain does not refer from one side to the other. Having said that, any infection can spread to other parts of the body. See dentist for infected tooth and see physician for proper diagnosis of armpit pain.
