Can cavities cause fever?

Beta, a simple cavity shouldn't cause fever unless it has turned into a deep infection. For temporary relief, you can gargle with warm water mixed with turmeric and salt. But please don't ignore the fever, go see a doctor soon.

I completely understand how stressful this is, I used to lose sleep over small health changes too. Yes, a deep dental infection can cause a fever, which is actually very common. Just get a professional to look at it, and you'll feel so much more relieved.

Honestly, this sounds really scary because fever means your body is fighting a proper infection. I would be panicking too! Please don't wait for it to get worse and go to a dentist or a physician today itself. Hoping you feel better soon.

My mother always tells us that dental pain can affect the whole body if neglected. If you have a fever, it means the cavity has likely caused an abscess. Please consult a qualified dentist as they can prescribe the right medicines to clear the infection.

Haan, a neglected cavity can definitely lead to a tooth infection, which can cause a fever. Don't take this lightly or try to suppress it with random pain killers. Go get the tooth examined, and the doctor will likely clean it up or start you on meds.

I am not completely sure, but with my PCOS history, I know that any inflammation in the body can trigger other symptoms. A cavity causing fever sounds like a spreading infection. It is definitely safer to get a doctor's opinion rather than guessing.
