Absolutely, yes. If the toothache is from an infection, the infection can cause inflammation and swelling which can then compress the sinus passages causing "sinus pressure". A dental infection can spread to the sinus and then to the brain.
See a professional, soon.
Good luck.
Yes, toothache is related to a sinus problem than a tooth problem. it is tooth pain caused by an inflammation of the maxillary sinus, which are air filled cavities inside the human skull, lined with a mucous membrane. These types of infections usually go away with time, but some severe and persistent cases require antibiotics. Sinus infections may make it difficult to maintain dental hygiene.

Why do teeth hurt when you are sick?

It is not uncommon for you to experience discomfort in your mouth when you're sick. The most typical cause of this is related to sinus type illnesses that cause congestion or sinus inflammation. Some of the nerves for your upper teeth are located very near your sinus cavities and as a result inflammation in the sinuses can actually cause pressure on those nerves. Additionally some illnesses can also cause irritation to the gums. Another confusing element of tooth pain when sick is that the brain may translate your tooth pain from the actual source in your upper teeth to your bottom teeth instead. You may even experience the sensation that the pain "moves around" between the upper and lower teeth. This is normal and can be very effectively controlled by using standard OTC pain killers. Most cold medicines will actually include acetaminophen as part of their formula. Signs to watch for are if the pain is throbbing or sharp, or if your teeth are exceptionally sensitive to hot or cold, or if pressure (from biting down or touching the tooth) causes a significant increase in pain. If any of those conditions are present contact your dentist immediately.

Could sinus cause pain only when pressed 2 inches below eye on cheek but no other sinus problems?

Sinus that cause pain is called sinusitis. Normally it occur in the maxillary sinus (your cheekbone). there are many other sinus on the skull but this is the one that usually inflamed due to its opening which is higher up at the medial nasal turbine. http://www.answers.com/topic/sinusitis * Sinuses aren't supposed to cause you pain, even when they're pressed on. If they hurt when you press on them (or worse) when you don't, it could be a sign that you're sick (and the sickness is more severe if you have the pain without pushing on the sinus area).

What could be wrong if you have jaw pain and some ear pain but no tooth pain?

It could very well be a wisdom tooth trying to cut. When a wisdom tooth begins to cut, it can move several teeth in the process and cause some jaw pain. The ear pain could be drainage if a wisdom tooth is cutting. A few painkillers are your best bet to help the pain, or you could opt to have the wisdom teeth removed surgically. It could also be a sinus infection or infection in a root tooth. A dentist's x-ray is the best plan.
