Can a tooth infection caused eye pain?

Yes: If it is an upper tooth then the nerve supplying sensation to it may also innervate and provide sensation to the eye. So, you can have referred pain to the eye.

Yep: Especially the "upper" teeth, since they share the same sensory nerve.

YES: If you have a bad tooth in the upper jaw , the infection can invade the ophthalmic region and give you symptoms of problems by your eye.
