I've been having the allonying pain. On the right side of my head. I also have a bad tooth on the same side. The filling has came out. And its open. It hurt from time to time.The tooth> I'm still able to somewhat eat on it. Im pretty long over due for a dentist appointment. I just want to know if it can cause headaches? I feel nausea along with it. Can anyone shine any light on my mth long problem?

It can absolutely be the cause of your headaches. You might also have decay in that tooth. I'd get to the dentist as soon as possible to get it taken care of. You will most likely get relief as soon as it's fixed.
