Is there a link between infected teeth and stress?
13th January 2010

Question:
It is known that stress can lead to bad teeth. Are there any studies demonstrating the relationship the other way around - that one or more bad (infected) tooth / teeth may be the cause of more symptoms such as dizziness, visual disturbances and difficulty concentrating.

Answer:
Dear Wendy,
Interesting question, however, knows nothing about the studies you mention, or studies to demonstrate a relationship the other way around. But infections around the teeth can affect one's overall well-being.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
