yes if it gets infected

It certainly can be.
If you develop an infection, and it gets out of hand, an infection
can be life threatening.
Anitbiotics can treat the infection, but not the problem that is causing the infection. Step one, see a dentist or other doctor for evaulation and probably antiobitics. The infection will go away, but once the antibiotics are done, it will return, which is why you have to see a dentist to treat the tooth in question.
For financial reasons, this may mean an extraction but see a dentist ASAP. Many will work our reasonable payment plans.

in case you vet has suggestion that her tooth prefer doing then i might have it carried out. He is familiar with on the subject of the coronary heart murmur so we save an added eye on that i'm beneficial. sure of course there is mostly a danger with anaesthetic as with us yet dentals are some thing the vet do directly. it incredibly is favourite for them to have the animal are available in early interior the morning so they'd sedate them. No animal likes going to the vet so all of them stress out so which you cat would be no different the sedative helps calm them. it incredibly is organic ffor you to wory all of us do while our lots love pets would desire to pass in to the vets . I beneficial she would be wonderful. do no longer cancel or wait it is going to in basic terms mean for the subsequent 6 months you would be annoying approximately it and her tooth ought to worsen in that factor. to help her tooth interior the furture it incredibly is extremely worth getting her used to you brushing them you prefer puppy the tooth paste and brush which you will desire to be waiting to get from the vets.

YES. A 12 yr old boy recently died because his doctor's office does not accept medicaid or something like that. A single cavity can spread up towards the brain and you can die.

Yes, it most definitely can be life-threatening. My brother-in-law is a dentist and he warns us about this type of thing all the time. Get yourself to a doctor and get it checked out, ASAP!

People used to die from absessed teeth all the time... You can go to the ER they can give you an anitbiotic that should clear up the infection.
