Possible: This is possible but unlikely. The tooth abscess would have to be very sever where it enters the blood circulation causing major organ failure. With today's medicine and antibiotics this is unlikely. See a dentist asap.

Abcess: "bad" tooth abcesses, along with all other tooth abcesses require treatment as soon as possible to irradicate the abcess. An abcess is an infection which can spread, become septic, cause swelling and consequently build up of pressure in the area of the swelling which could impact other blood vessels in the area of the swelling, and if untreated have been known in some instances to be fatal.
