Dental infections: Dental infection can harm your health. Yes, it may cause bad breath, a sense of malaise, and lack of appetite are possible symptoms. It would be best if you were evaluated by a dentist and also by your primary care provider for other possible causes of your symptoms.

Yes, Yes & Yes: Severely decayed teeth and periodontal issues are infections, and the toxins that are released will often end up in the bloodstream, affecting overall health and well-being. Please see a local dentist for an exam and treatment plan. Left untreated, these problems will only become worse.
