How to reduce the risk of developing a brain abscess

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: Hi. I am 20 years old. I had a root canal job done a couple of years ago, but it was unfinished due to lack of money. I have been reading online that it can lead to brain abscess and things of that nature. I have been feeling some symptoms lately. Such as tingling around my jaw, and a bit of a tinglnig-fuzzy feeling around the back of my head. I don't have any pain or anything like that. I wanted to know if these symptoms were brain abscess symptoms. I am a bit of a hypacondriact and I always think the worst is happening when it's usually very normal issues. IE if i have slight chest pain, I will think I have heart issues. That sort of thing. I think maybe my anxiety is getting the better of me.

Condition analysis:
As long as the root canal was sealed, you should be all right.  Did the dentist finish the job, and the next step was a post and core and crown?  The last one third of the canal is sealed in a root canal, and then a temporary filling or permanent filling goes into the lower part of the canal.  If that has fallen out, then the canal could be filled with food debris and could cause decay and irritate the gums.  

Instructions:
Prevention: You can reduce the risk of developing a brain abscess by getting treated for infections or health problems that can cause them. Some people, including those with certain heart disorders, may receive antibiotics before dental or other procedures to help reduce the risk of infection.
