Can dental problems effect other parts of your body?

Question

symptoms, such as; ringing in the ears, body aches, fatique, throbbing headaches, muscle spasms and sinius congestion.

Answer 1

Many of these symptoms, especially the throbbing headaches and ringing in the ears, suggest a TMJ problem to me. It sounds like your lower jaw is a bit out of position and you need to have this evaluated by your dentist. Muscle spasms of the head AND neck could also be related to a TMJ problem.

Sinus congestion could be related to (caused by) a dental abscess on an upper back tooth.

Fatigue could be related to (caused by) a dental infection. Any time your body is trying to fight an infection, your reserve will decrease and you may feel fatigue.

To put this all in one ball of wax, let's suppose that you have a big cavity in an upper wisdom tooth that is not coming in properly. That one tooth could cause ALL OF THE ABOVE.

You didn't ask, but there is a pretty clear association between gum disease and heart problems.

Answer 2

Yes, there have even been people who had to have the teeth with fillings and crowns taken out be cause of a toxic reaction to the metals. It is the best the dental field has but just like some people have reactions to drugs the fillings, crowns and posts are foreign to our systems.

Answer 3

Yes. It could be Glossopharyngel Neuralgia.
This includes the throat, tonsillar region, posterior third of the tongue, nasopharynx (back of nose and throat), larynx, and ear. The pain is episodic and may be severe. It can sometimes be triggered by swallowing, chewing, speaking, laughing, or coughing

Answer 4

Yes, a badly decayed tooth can cause most of those symptoms.

Answer 5

Most definitely. If you experience these symptoms you should go see a dentist ASAP.

Answer 6

Yes! You may have an absessed tooth, or something.
