    Can my teeth be making me physically ill (nausea vomiting)?
    I have had dental problems for as long as I can remember. I currently don't have any abscesses that I know of - however for the last couple of years I recurrently suffer from nausea/vomiting on a monthly basis. I have had several medical work-ups trying to find the cause of the nausea and vomiting - but everything has come out well - the only thing that they can tell me is that my white blood cell count is elevated. I remember as a teenager my grandfather was having the same problems and after years of suffering it was determined that it was his teeth. After he had them all pulled - he didn't have a sick day the rest of his life. Please help - I am at a loss and am tired of being physically sick all of the time. Thanks

    Unless you have a whole mouth of abscessed teeth I don't see where your teeth would be making you sick. Have you been seen by a dentist to confirm that your teeth are okay at the moment.

    If one doctor can't find the reason, I think it is time to change doctors and get a second opinion.

    I actually have several teeth that are broken. I have seen several different specialists regarding the nausea and vomiting. I have not seen a dentist yet - just trying to get a good feel before I sound like an idiot going into the dentist office. Thanks for your help.

    You won't sound like an idiot. Impacted, abscessed teeth cause heart attacks from the poison released into the system over long term.
