Can gum infection cause tinnitus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indirect correlation: Gum disease is a very unlikely cause of tinnitus, however a severe dental infection either tooth or gum related of one of the rear molars can on rare occasions spread inflammation in the region of the ear and create the uncomfortable ringing of tinnitus.
