Tooth decay?

First let me start off by saying that I am a Hypochondriac (really bad), but I don't guess that has much relivence upon this question. Here is my question.. Can a tooth abscess be dangerous? I understand that if it gets in your blood (the infection) then it can become fatal, but my doc says that is rare. Yes... I went to an M.D. cause my neibor told me about the "Fatal" thing. Anyways he gave me antibiotics and told me I should be okay till I get to a dentist.. What do you think??

Tooth decay?
yes a periodontal abscess can be fatal, if bacteria reach ur blood stream, but it is also rare, coz a simple antibiotic, will easily solve ur problem,so if u are on antibiotics, rest assured u will not die, do see a dentist however, so that ur tooth can be treated
Reply:Yes it can be dangerous but you seen the doc and he gave you antibiotics so why worry?Go to the DENTIST!!!

Reply:Yes, your neighbor says the truth - tooth abscess could be fatal especially when it creates an infection and just left untreated. you really have to ask your doctor about this before it's too late.
