Origine de l’infection située au niveau de la dent :
Si une dent abîmée ou fracturée n’est pas soignée rapidement, la pulpe de cette dent se nécrose et se putréfie. Les microbes se diffusent alors par la racine et peuvent créer un abcès localisé. Les bactéries, en se développant dans l’os, libèrent des toxines qui entraînent une destruction du tissu osseux de la mâchoire et se propagent dans les tissus environnants.

L’infection peut alors emprunter des voies indirectes telles que la circulation lymphatique ou sanguine.

Propagation par voie lymphatique : les ganglions de la tête et du cou gonflent et deviennent douloureux.
Propagation par voie sanguine : les bactéries vont gagner un autre organe comme les sinus, les yeux, le cœur, les poumons ou les articulations. Elles peuvent alors déclencher des pathologies sur ces organes, mais aussi, et surtout, aggraver des pathologies préexistantes.
