Questions About Possible Dental Problems Posted: 03-20-07 07:33am
A friend of mine told me she needs to have
surgery on her teeth or else something
might go to her brain and she could die.
When she told me this, I was skeptical
because I've never heard of anything like
that. I started searching around the net
and found out some info about focal
infections and periodontal pockets that
can cause bacteria to migrate from the
teeth to other organs and cause problems.
Can something like this really happen and
kill her? Can bacteria go to her brain
and really cause death? Are there any
dentists/doctors on this forum who can
offer a professional answer? I am just
boggled.
