Can a rotten tooth that has been in your mouth for 16 yrs kill you or make you sick??????
Yes, it can. There was recently a boy in Maryland who died when the infection from a rotten tooth spread into his brain.
Reply:I dont think it can kill you, but it can make you sick if it gets infected. I would have the thing pulled.
Reply:It can get infected and the infection can travel throughout your system.
Reply:Yeah it can kill you cause it can easily spread to your brain or blood system
Reply:yes it can it can become infected and get in your bloob and make you extremely sick or in worse case kill you get it fixed asap
Reply:It can make you very sick and depending on the infection and where it travels might actuallly be able to kill you, but that is in extreme cases.


That is why dentists will not pull a tooth that has an infection, because it can travel into the blood stream and then cause sepsis. Which is not good at all. You will need to get on some antibiotics first then have it pulled.


Good Luck!
Reply:yes..the infection can get into your blood stream...
Reply:Well, at the very least, your breath will kill me...
Reply:How can you be sure it is rotten ? Is it Black ?


If your not in any pain, that means there is no infection. The infection is what can cause many other problems, such as poison going thru your system. A bad tooth infection can cause blindness.


Another words, no pain, no infection, not that big of a problem. You do want to eventually get that out of your mouth.
Reply:YES, the infection can get into your blood and make you VERY VERY sick or even kill you. (like everyone has said so far)





You should get to the dentist ASAP. You will need to be put on antibiotics, then if the tooth is not salvageable, it will need to be extracted.
Reply:You've probably been carrying around an infection for a very long time. No, it most likely won't kill you but it may make your body sick. And your breath is probably suffering as well. Go get it taken care of.
Reply:FYI, THIS TOOTH IS ABSCESSED AND MUST BE FIXED OR EXTRACTED.
Reply:yes it can... i read a story bout a child having serious tooth decay dying because it went to his brain. google maryland boy dies from tooth decay they you will see what i mean
