Can you die from a toothache?

Answer 1

A tooth ache may indicate a serious infection. If left untreated these can kill you.

I believe that in certain situations~ a heart attack, stroke,or even aneurism can occur from extreme high blood pressure cause by stress,and strain brought on by the pain..

Answer 2

I suppose if you allow the infection to continue and turn into blood poisioning it could kill you. However, I have known quite a few people with swollen faces and much pain whose tooth nerve simply died and tje infection went away. I perspnally would try to see a good dentist, take antibiotics, etc. However, in hard economic times people cannot the high cost of dental work and some take pain medication so they can continue to function.
