Can tooth pain make you sick?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Question is ?: Sick as in physically ill with fever, nausea, etc ? Depends on the person, as pain can induce many bodily reactions and responses. If the pain is from an infected tooth and infected bone and tissue, yes you can be sick, but from the infection. See your Dentist to diagnose the source of the pain and provide the best treatment to relieve it. You may get some TEMPORARY relief from alleve / advil (ibuprofen).

Sick and Debilitated: If not treated, a serious dental pain can eventually kill. The infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. See any dentist for examination, x-rays and treatment.
