An infected tooth itself does not directly cause a urinary tract infection (UTI), but the bacteria from a dental infection can potentially enter the bloodstream and spread to other parts of the body, including the urinary system. This is more likely to occur in individuals with weakened immune systems or other underlying health conditions. Maintaining good oral hygiene and treating dental infections promptly can help prevent such complications. If you're experiencing symptoms of a UTI, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
No, infected teeth cannot cause leg pain. However, it is possible for an infected tooth to cause sepsis, or whole body infection, that would not only cause pain in distant sites, but is life threatening.
If the infection spreads that far, yes, it certainly can.

An infected tooth can cause death. But it isn't really from infecting your brain. It will go into your airways and swell them up then you can't breath. A tooth infection can become very serious. The infection can go into your bloodstream. A person I knew was very sick; they did all these tests. His wife insisted it was his teeth, and it was!!!!!!!!!
A tooth that has developed an abcess is infected. The infection can cause fever and pain all over that side of the face.
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.
Yes it can. In addition to this, and dependingon the infection, other organs including the heart can be attacked and damaged permanently. If the tooth is infected, I strongly recommend you see a dental professional about treating this. If you have a temperature over 99F (resultant from the infection), you might even consider going to an Emergency Room.
An infected socket has a potential of bone loss, if the infection persists for too long. Presence of socket means that a tooth has been extracted out recently. Normally this socket should be filled with regrowth of bone with passage of time, but if it gets infected, there is no bone deposition until infection resides. And if infection persists, the acidic medium caused by pus starts dissolving the surrounding bone tissues as well. Result will be... an adjoining tooth becomes loose!!!!
Actually if your tooth is infected you should not use warmth only cold. Heat can cause the infection to spread making your problem much worse. Especially do not use warmth if you are experiencing bleeding or swelling. The above answer is correct not to apply cold directly to your tooth. And you can most definitely visit any emergency room for medication. Infected teeth are very serious and could cause very serious problems.
