IF the tooth is broken and the nerve exposed then bacteria can directly enter into your blood.

Fractured teeth are classified by severity. You should see your dentist. Untreated, extensive fractures and lead to infection in the jawbone, and a subsequent immune response.

A chipped or broken tooth may not hurt but it can potentially be a big problem. Teeth have liitle tubules which run from the pulp (nerve and blood supply) through the middle layer called dentin. Should these tubules become exposed due to cracks, fractures, trauma , decay, etc, bacteria can invade these tubules and travel to the pulp. If that happens, an infection can occur leading to a serious abscess. This does not necessarily have to "hurt". It can happen without any discomfort. Should an infection occur, bacteria are now free to enter the bloodstream and travel anywhere around the body. The immune system is one such area that can be affected.

It certainly can affect the immune system in so many ways. One of which is overload of our digestive organ ,impaired digestion of the food and lack of proper nutrition. This will affect The ability of body's soldiers to fight infections. What it also does many times is to cause a low grade infection. Bacteria get in to small microscopic dentinal tubules, creating toxins and by products that irritate the nerve . What happens next is that the nerve sends the signal to the brain reporting invasion of the body's tissues by foreign bodies leading to activation of a cascade of inflammatory reactions during which the soldiers, THE BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM become busy and overloaded on a daily basis specially if we have several health issues of different fronts.

It really depends.Chipped or broken tooth left untreated is a potential health issue. When the break is deep and involve the nerve of the tooth, it can cause pain and infection, this will affect immunce systerm.
