can rotting wisdom tooth cause health problems?

Can a rotting wisdom tooth cause any medical problems? I have had medical problems for the past 2 years and no doctor has ever been ever to diagnose me. Symptoms included a low roaring back pain, urinary symptoms, pains into legs, burning on hands and feet and a stiff neck. Then i remembered i havn’t seen a dentist for a while. Then i noticed there is a wisdom tooth causing bad breath and it looks almost black. Is there any chance this could be the cause?

Yes, infection in the gums/teeth can cause health problems, and is a serious condition; you need to see a dentist ASAP, to have that bad tooth looked at. I kept putting off the ineveitable (had to have all teeth extracted), and I was sick everywhere. Since I had them pulled, I have felt more like my old self.

    Possibly. If something is rotten in your body, it doesn’t always just affect that area. Get to a dentist or oral surgeon to get it taken out and if that doesn’t help, then just keep pushing your primary care physician that something is wrong. Keep track of your symptoms, like what day, time, food, etc.

  3. Most certainly could be poisining your system with infection. it will also cause gum disease and rot the rest of your teeth.
