Impacted Wisdom Tooth, body aches?
Hello,
Last week my doctor diagnosed me with acute sinusitis. He prescribed amoxicillin 3x per day, 14 days.
Yesterday, I went to the dentist for a root canal. Prior to starting the root canal, the dental assistant took a panel x-ray. The x ray revealed an impacted wisdom tooth near my sinuses. The dentist referred me to an oral surgeon.
I have been experiencing bad headaches and muscle/ joint/ body aches. Can an impacted tooth do that?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
I have read that a tooth infection can get into the bloodstream and cause body aches. Is this true?
