Can periodontal disease cause you to have headaches (around your nose and forehead).

No, unless: No, unless the perio disease is really severe. See an oral surgeon to assess the reason for the head and facial pain.

Usually no, but...: .. really loose teeth, difficulty chewing, or an infection can cause such symptoms. Are you being treated by a periodontist? If not, now is the time to call for an appointment.

Unlikely: The symptoms you mention are not likely related. See a Periodontist for a periodontal evaluation and treatment and see your physician concerning persistent headaches.

2 separate problems: See your PCP for headache evaluation and treatment. See your dentist for periodontal disease diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.

Short answer is YES: Periodontal disease as well as any subset of dental hygienic or related problem can be a cause of headaches. I can't tell you how many people I've sent for Panorex films due to poor dentition or some other dental history who were also complaining of headaches...sometimes there are 2 separate problems but I wouldn't bet against them either.
