Can an infected tooth spread the infection to the other teeth as well?
There are many causes of tooth infection. The most common ones are abscesses from tooth decay or gum disease. Un treated abscess from tooth decay do not spread to adjacent tooth but infection potentially can spread to other area, this condition called cellulitis and that is a medical emergency. Abscess from gum disease do not spread once you taken the right antibiotics. To facilitate healing you should keep the area clean with tooth brushing, flossing, use mouthwash and finish the whole course of the antibiotics. It is also important to come back for the Dentist follow up, and provide any others necessary treatments. READ MORE
