Could infection in his teeth cause the chest pain if heart tests are normal?
Patient: Hi, my name is Debbie.  My son had a heart attack 2 years ago and had a stint put in.  After he has had some teeth problems lately he has had severe chest pain but they have ruled out his heart multiple times.  Even done stess test and imaging to be sure stint and heart is okay.  He has no damage to his heart at all but continues to have chest pain lately he has had some teeth get very bad has had to have 3 extracted and they have all been infected.  They put him on antibiotics after the fact.   Could the infection in his teeth cause the chest pain? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting the query,     No this is not related to dental causes, i would suggest you to consult to an Physician and get the checkup done.Also get the infected tooth checked and treated by a Dentist.Take care!
