What illnesses can abscessed teeth cause?
An abscess is a very bad infection in the root which should be treated immediately. Most commonly cause by severe tooth decay, it can also be formed from gingivitis or when there is trauma to the tooth. Symptoms include fever, sensitivity, pain when chewing, redness and swelling or foul smelling breath. If not treated immediately, the infection can spread to the bone.
Is blood pressure fluctuation related to abscessed teeth that have not yet been extracted?
Yes. I had an abcessed tooth for about a year and I did not know it. My blood pressure was really weird during that time, as soon as I went on antibiotics and then had a root canal done, my blood pressure went back to normal. I also had a cousin who had a tooth abscessed and she did not know it. Well she died and they did an autopsy on her because they did not know her cause of death and they found pus in her heart cavity leading down from where the tooth was.

No, cold and flu are viral diseases. Tooth decay is caused by bacteria and the pus is a mixture of white blood cells from the immune system and those bacteria.
Is pus a good thing after a tooth extraction?
No Tell your dentist you might have an infection
I had a toothache for a few days and finally went to the ER and they said I have an abscessed tooth. They gave me anti biotics...the abscess has came to a head should I drain it if so how?
Take a sip of mouthwash and swill it around the mouth. Press against the abscess with a sterile pad until the pus is released. Spit out and rinse with mouthwash. Once the pus has been released the pain should go away! Continue to the end of the antibiotic treatment. Revisit the dentist.

How do you treat an abscessed lip piercing?
If your lip piercing has abscessed, your first point of call should be a doctor. An abscessed piercing is a build up of pus and infected material which has been trapped under healed skin, and so it will need to be drained. Do not remove your jewellery unless you have spoken to a doctor and he has recommended it, because your piercing may not have abscessed. (It is very easy to assume that your piercing has abscessed when in fact it is just infected or healing in an unusual way.) You may wish to speak to your piercer also, unless you pierced yourself, which I would recommend against doing again.Speak to a doctorDo not remove the jewellery or attempt to drain it yourselfTalk to your piercer if you're unsure.
Can a normal person fall asleep during a root-canal?
When a tooth's nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed tooth. An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the end of the roots of the tooth. An abscess occurs when the infection spreads all the way past the ends of the roots of the tooth.
Does an abscessed tooth affect your breathing at all or cause back pains of any kind?
Abscesses of the teeth occur because the tooth has become non vital, ie it has died from either a traumatic accident or decay or a leaky filling with decay underneath. This causes dead material in the tooth to leak out throught the apical foramen (the point of the tooth that sits in the bone and is where the blood vessels and nerves of the pulp enter and leave the tooth). This causes inflammation within the boney socket that holds the tooth and leads to a collection of pus. This pus collects in the socket and causes formation of an abscess. If the infected material is not removed, it has to spread somewhere so it moves along the easiest path it can find. In some cases it moves along the tissue layers of the face amd into the space below the chin and jaw. This is known as cellulitis. When the infection spreads into the floor of the mouth compromising the airway and this can lead to trouble breathing and is a serious life threatening risk. As for back pain I dont know but you need to get this checked out ASAP.
