What happens if oral candida (from the tongue) reaches brain through dental caries or other tooth problems?
Unlikely. That said see dentist immediately to treat any and all oral infections before they get out of hand.
Confusion. Would be among the symptoms but I have never heard of oral candida reaching the brain from the oral cavity. Bacterial infections from the six front upper teeth does occur but is rare.
