bad teeth
I have to get dentures and can't afford it so I have had alot of infections in my mouth and I don't think antibiotics work anymore so now I have really bad headaches and get dizzy could the infection be in my head
Like ceceila4 says bad bacteria from a particular spot in the body can spread elsewhere.
And it is likely that the infected decaying teeth are the cause of your headaches.
Headaches and dizziness can also be from congested sinuses and ear and throat problems. So it would be wise to see your doctor to check you out for that. When you see your doctor take a urine sample with you so that the doctor can check that too.
If you cannot afford to get new dentures, it is best to have the really bad decayed teeth removed or treated if they can be saved.
Make sure that you clean your teeth every morning and evening before going to bed. Use a mouth wash to help and use a dental floss. If you experience bleeding (gingivitis - inflammation and disease of the gums) doing this, the bleeding will eventually stop and the gums will get more healthy.
Some dentists will not do any dental work until your gums are healed, so it is important to floss.
Eat a healthy and well balanced diet, drink plenty of water 2-3 litres per day, more if you sweat or workout. Cut out on cigarettes, junk foods and sugary foods and sweets and drinks, like fizzy pop.
Best wishes.

Could be possible, infection only goes away once u get the "bad" infected teeth out bc they are the source, if you leave the infection too long, it can travel anywhere in your body.. try to find out if your state host free dental work, it texas we do triage days they might not be able to help you with dentures, but they could possibly help you with the removal of infected teeth.. if you have taken antibiotics for a long time then your body can build up a tolerance for them.. sorry, hope you can find help soon.. in my prayers..
