A member asked:
I have 5 residual tooth rooths that are in extremely decay shape. i'm having a fever, and fast heartbeat and dentist didn't give me an antibiotic before trying to schedule extraction. are the fever and fast heartbeat from the terrible rooth infection?

It is possible that an infection from those roots is causing your symptoms, but without an examination with radiographs one cannot tell over the internet. Your dentist has examined you, however. Does s/he know about your fever? It would be wise to discuss so that appropriate action can be taken.
