I have had unrelenting fatigue for months, and at times have low grade temps/feel nauseas for no apparent reason. I do have peridontal disease & also had lost a cavitiy out of a molar that one dentist refused to refill. I was not prepared to have the tooth pulled (and it did not hurt AT ALL), so it has been left with the hole for awhile. I just went to the dentist for this (and another issue) the other day and he said that molar was abcessed. He was surprised that I had no pain with it at all (am scheduled to have it filled this week). I'm wondering - even though I don't have the typical pain that I guess I should....could my exhaustion etc... be related to the abcess or the peridontal disease in general? My other doc's can find no reason for my fatigue & it REALLY interferes with daily functioning! Thanks.

I work in a denatl office..and I honestly hate when people say....well, it doesnt hurt..or no I dont need xrays this year my teeth are ok...uhh...these are the same people that come back with infections and need rcts...of course your feeling sick, theres an infection. you should be taking penicillin or keflex to clear it up. perio-disease can spread so do go kissing anyone..lol..and go evey 6 months for a cleaning & floss everyday...get xrays done...and just because it doesnt hurt does not mean everything id ok

Yes the symptoms are very similar. Also, just having chronic Fatigue syndrom can make you depressed. Ask your doctor if you might need some medication for depression. And Chronic fatigue is a real illness, not a catch all as some think, It can be diagnoised by blood work.

An abcess can make you feel lousy- the infection can get into your blood and be very dangerous- so - the the sooner it gets fixed the better- floss and take care-Hopefully dental repair will fix exhaustion and low grade temp- D

i dont know if it does or not, but i would not be surprised. an abscessed tooth can leak all kinds of toxins into your body and i imagine it could cause you to feel fatigued- i am only guessing. i know that gum disease does contribute to other health conditions so i like i said, i wouldnt be surprised.

an abscess is an infection. poison in your body. it can definitely cause you to be tired. if your dentist hasn't given you antibiotics, call and request some.

Yes, and it can also cause sores to show up on your face.
