Can an infected extracted tooth make abcesses appear elsewhere on the body?
In rare cases, a severe infection related to a tooth, such as a tooth abscess, can potentially spread to other areas of the body. This condition is known as a "spread" or "complication" of the infection. Here are a few points to consider: Tooth Infection Spread: If a tooth abscess is left untreated or inadequately treated, the infection can progress and potentially spread to nearby structures, such as the jawbone, surrounding soft tissues, or sinuses. This can lead to localized complications. Systemic Infection: In very rare instances, if a severe dental infection is left untreated for an extended period, bacteria from the infection can enter the bloodstream and potentially spread to other parts of the body. This can result in a systemic infection, which may lead to complications affecting distant organs or body systems. It's important to note that these instances of infection spreading beyond the immediate dental area are relatively rare. Most dental infections can be effectively treated with appropriate dental care and antibiotics. However, if you have a severe dental infection or are experiencing symptoms beyond the oral cavity, it is essential to seek prompt medical and dental attention. To prevent the spread of dental infections and potential complications: Maintain good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. Address dental issues promptly, such as tooth decay or gum disease, to prevent the development of infections. Seek dental care if you experience symptoms of a dental infection, such as severe toothache, swelling, or persistent pain. Follow the recommendations and treatment plan provided by your dental professional to effectively manage dental infections and prevent potential complications. If you suspect a dental infection or have concerns about its potential impact, it's best to consult with a dental professional or healthcare provider who can evaluate your specific situation and provide appropriate advice and treatment.

How can you tell if a tooth nerve is infected or just inflamed?
Go to the dentist! You can not run around with a infection in your tooth. If you think you have a infection in your tooth that is enough reson to go to the dentist. They know if a nerve is infected or inflamed. -------- Even if it is inflamed that means that the dental nerve is infected with bacteria, and if left untreated it can lead to gangrene and root treatment. See this video about infection of the dental nerve http://www.checkdent.com/en/videos/tooth-inflammation-159.html
Do dental implants require extensive maintenance?
Yes. In fact, dental implants require a bit more than just simple flossing and brushing like regular teeth do. Because dental implants required surgery to be implanted in a patient’s mouth, there is a much greater risk of infection underneath the gum line. Because of this risk, a person with dental implants should go to their dental implant specialist for regular check ups to make sure that the area around their implants is healing properly and that no infection has taken root there.
Can cavities go down to the bone?
Not as "cavities". Once the root of the tooth is affected, it will usually abscess and become infected. This infection can spread to the gums and jaw. Occasionally dental implants may also trigger bone infection.
