Can a tooth ache/bad tooth cause head & eye aches?

I am having a tooth pulled today because its been giving me problems when I eat and when im about ot go to sleep, I also started having head aches and my eye on the right side (the side the toothe is on) Was sort of hurting

I thought it was from wearing my contact lenses but i stopped wearing them to let my eye heal and its still a little sore. Could this be from the pain in my mouth?

Wow..Some really good answers thanks..And Raptor that is truely interesting to know...maybe thats why I was having constant heart flutters last month before the eye thing started..

I'm glad you're getting the tooth pulled today. A bad tooth can cause a lot more than headaches or eye pain. Research has shown that it can lead to heart attack and stroke as well as headache/eye pain. I had a systemic infection as a result of seven infected teeth and the best decision I could have made was to get them out.
