Can a serious long term tooth abscess with infection go to the brain?

[BrerRabbit]

Im disabled due to Crohn's Disease and over time it has caused my teeth to deteriorate seriously bad and this causes me serious anxiety because with Crohn's it is so important to eat right. I have developed Barrett's Esophagus  as well. The easy solution would be to get some dental care, but it's impossible for me to do this on a limited income of $734 a month, you see its not just one tooth,I have all of my teeth but they are just the roots that remain,I actually only have 4 lower teeth left. There is no dental help for me here where I live and I cannot possibly pay for what needs to be done. So I live everyday in fear and pain because Im poor,Im not unintelligent just got handed a crappy hand. Sorry for sharing too much.

So sorry to hear about all you have had to deal with!  Do you have a dental school that is in your area?  Sometimes they offer free/extremely low cost dental care- the draw back is that it's students doing the work, but from what I understand they are heavily supervised and it's a great way to get great care for those on limited incomes.  You definitely don't want to mess with leaving that infection, it can cause all kinds of issues.
