Tooth infection: Yes it can. See your dentist for a exam and x-ray to rule out infection. If dental is ruled out you should contact your physician.

Yes...: Dr OZ calls it the "Triangle of Death". Please have a dentist evaluate your teeth ASAP. Pressure from the infection as well as the acidic environment may be the cause.
