There is book with a very good title. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
You apparently fear going to the dentist, why? Because you fear the pain, and discomfort you will experience during your visit.
If you avoid going to see a dentist about your toothache, you will really know pain, not just for the 20 minutes in the dentists chair, but all day and all night. It will be so painful you probably will not be able to sleep, that in itself could cause you other problems.
I don't have an idea of your age, maybe you had a bad experience many years ago. Dentistry is not as painful as it used to be, it seems a bit intrusive, and there is some discomfort while
you are in the chair and the dentist is doing things in your mouth, but the relieve once they have dealt with your problem!
You need to go to the dentist for another reason than the toothache, you need to go to get rid of the fear you have for dentists. In that respect the toothache may be a good thing.

Hi
Yup it could cause promblems..If you don't know what is causing it....Sometimes other things cause tooth aches..like an infection...If you have an ear ache it can cause your face/jaw to hurt...just an idea..your brain tells you something is wrong by making something hurt....if you don't listen..something else might hurt..so the first sign of pain you should take notice. It might be an abcess tooth....gums? it might be more serious like something is happening to your nerve....
If you don't go to a dentist....go to your doctor...or make a note where and when it hurts..these are ? they will ask...
You can take tylenol/advil for pain..also go to your local pharmacy they may be able to offer suggestions as well...
dentists are our friends....you can also check out your local colleges (anywhere that has a dental program) they have student dentists and they will be able to tell you what the matter is..and usually are much less expensive then a dentist..they are call clinics...
good luck!

Tooth aches are usually related to some form of tooth/root or gum infection, and an infection anywhere in the head cause a world of problems, eye pain and head aches are actually minor compared to some people's issues. I had a tooth ache that literally knocked me unconcious with pain. The absessed tooth had to be extracted, but the infection still hung around for a couple more months. See a dentist, and an eye nose throat specialist, and give each of them the other's business card so they may compare notes and better decide a treatment

I don't click on websites on answers or from anyone I don't know. Too much potential for viruses and who needs that expensive hassle? So if I missed your point by not going to that site, oh well.
To answer your question, a bad tooth can kill you, literally. Every year hundreds of people die from oral infections that began in the teeth. If your tooth is infected you need to be treated with antibiotics before, during and after any dental procedures. Choose a dentist and get going. Pain is a signal that something is wrong with your body. If you wait long enough the tooth will make you see a dentist! Let's just hope it isn't too late.

Get to the dentist ASAP. I had a serious acute toothache several days' ago and went to my dentist for an x-ray. It turned out I had irreversible pulpitis (in other words, my tooth was dying). He happened to be able to do the root canal on me that same day (because someone called to cancel their appointment). The procedure was painless for me with a hint of laughing gas and numbing shots (I even fell asleep and started snoring), and now I feel 100% better. No more pain. I was eating even after the root canal (but had to be careful not to bite my still-numb tongue). This is my second root canal and I have never had any pain or after-effects.

if you ignore your toothache, yes it could cause you serious problems...i don't know about it causing a "brain infection"...but you could get an abscess, and that infection could spread into your system...not good...you need at least some antibiotics, and yes, a trip to the dentist is called for...why suffer what is going to be ever-increasing pain...it can get VERY bad...and possibly a worsening infection, when you can go and get the tooth fixed or removed...don't give in to fear of dentists...do the wise thing!

you should go to a dentist, a tooth can become abcess and infected, it will be even more painful and can over a period of time cause serious health problems, ive never heard of a brain infection though, it can really mess up you sinuses, GO TO A DENTIST

What happens when you neglect your teeth is, during the decaying process, you accumulate a great deal of plaque! This plaque gathers in your blood stream and causes serious heart disease, it doesn't matter your age, it is the condition of your mouth. Brushing will not solve this problem, as you swallow a thousand times a day, and swallowing the plaque along with your saliva!See a Dentist you Fool! Don't you Value your Life and the ones who love you?
