It shouldn't: But infections can spread and give you a general sense of not feeling well. Coupled with medications you might be taking to combat the pain or infection, you may be experience gastrointestinal distress. Then again, it may be that you've caught a stomach virus.

Definetely: Infected tooth also called dental abscess. The bacteria from an infected tooth travels through the blood stream to other areas/organs of the body can cause bacteremia (bacteria in the blood) can also make you generally ill, with stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, fevers, chills and sweats. Prevention is the key for your dental health.
