Yes. The infection from infected teeth can affect your whole body. Your infected teeth can even affect your heart and cause your death. The high white blood count could be the least of your worries.

Can abscess infect upper jaw bone?
Yes, an abscess can affect the upper jaw bone (maxilla) just like how it can affect the lower jaw (mandible). Usually it is the teeth that get infected and the infection travels up the root till it reaches the tip and there the infection thrives and grows into an abscess. Teeth most often get infected by bacteria that cause a cavity, the bacteria form plaque that allows them to stick to the teeth, they then feed on the simple carbs we eat especially sugar, they give off a byproduct of their meal which is an acid and the acid starts to eat away at the tooth. The acid breaks through the first layer which is the strongest and is called enamel it then makes it way into the second layer which is softer called the dentin; by now the teeth are usually sensitive to cold things and sweets the cavity, if not cleaned out and filled by the dentist will continue to grow deeper into the tooth until it gets to the pulp (the nerve and blood supply) of the tooth. At this point the bacteria and acid that they give off start to kill the nerve causing a lot of pain especially to hot and cold. If no treatment is given then the bacteria travel throught the root to the apex, i.e. the tip of the root and multiply and thrive with the blood supply in the jaw bone. But by now the infection can grow relatively quickly it eats away at the bone and once it has eaten out of the bone it can explode very quickly into the softer tissues e.g the cheeks, this is why people with a toothache can wake up with a big swollen face the next day.
Where can you get real human teeth for science fair project?
Contact a few local dentists in your local area and explain your intentions. Keep in mind that these teeth will still have blood and possible tissue still attached and there can be some cleanliness issues along with blood pathogens that can be harmful including hepatitus A, B, C or even HIV aids. If you are able to acquire any human teeth from patient extractions, you will need bleach to kill any virus' that may be present. If this sounds like too much work and you still want teeth, or even fake teeth, contact a local dental lab that makes fake teeth and they might be able to hook you up. These teeth will not contain the roots of normal teeth as they are made into dentures. I am not sure of your exact needs for the project in question, so which one you may choose is up to you. Good luck on a good grade as well.
