It can be treated with antibiotics, but it doesn't really solve the problem. The tooth will still need the treatment reccomended by the dentist; root canal or being taken out most likely. The antibiotics will just help get rid of the pain and make it easier to work on the tooth. The infection will come back. There is no real way to determine when, but it will, maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months, maybe a year, but it will be back and it will probably be worse. And if there is any way to save the tooth now, there may not be if you wait to have the treatment done.

If you broke your toe and left it untreated could it cause infection throughout your entire body like having intense cranial pressure that feels like a sinus infection with no infection present?
Broken toes are usually very minor injuries and there are usually very few complications. If you break your toe and leave it untreated, it usually cannot cause infection throughout your entire body. However, open or compound toe fractures have the potential to cause infection because there is a break in the skin and the bone is exposed. Open toe fractures must be treated to prevent infection and can only be treated by a physician using antibiotics and surgery. If you have an open toe fracture or are worried about the possibility of infection, you need to see a physician as soon as possible.
