Should a person continue with daily exercise if they have a tooth abscess?!
Question:
Should a person continue with daily exercise if they have a tooth abscess?
I have just found out I have an abcess on my gums. I always worry about infection spreading to other organs. Will walking on my treadmill provoke the spread of the infection to other parts of my body?
Answers:
No, and you should be on antibiotics if it is abcessed. The infection has to be gone before the dentist can work on that tooth, if not that is when the infection can spread. Plus if the infection isn't gone, he will have a hard time numbing the tooth.
