Can a rotten tooth cause face and head pressure?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Possible: A rotten tooth can lead to infection that can also spread to other areas, including the nerves and tissue of the mouth and head. See a qualified dentist asap to make sure and treat, especially getting the tooth removed or treated.
