Question

I have had two teeth that tend to get abscesses and I get the headache and pain and then they "seem" to go away. But, I have been having a lot of difficulties with my head lately between ears, throat, and sinuses. What are the symptoms of a septic infection from an abscess?

Answer

Hello

 

Recurring sinus infections, headaches, throat infections are all most likely related to the abscessing teeth. I would highly recommend either having then extracted or root canals done right away on them to help resolve this problem. Also, Endocarditis can occur with infections in the mouth and if you have any heart valve abnormalities, it can increase that chance even further. Endocarditis is an infection of the tissue that lines the heart. Fever is usually the first symptom. If fever starts to occur, please see your Physician for a blood work up and antibiotics if the test warrants them. After that, the teeth need to be repaired or removed.
