Abscessed Tooth

Question: Can you die from an abscessed tooth?

Answer: Yes, but it’s highly unlikely.

The only way one can die from an abscessed tooth is if they leave the infection untreated. An abscessed tooth is incredibly painful and more often than not causes who ever is infected to seek medical care. However, with any type of infection, it is possible for it to spread to other parts of the body including the heart which can cause death.
