Are you on an antibiotic for this tooth? That can make you nauseated as well as an infected tooth. But, don't stop taking the antibiotic, if it was prescribed. Besides all the other things that they have said above, tooth infection can go to the heart as well. Check with your dentist pronto.

Cancel your appointment NOW!!! The last thing a dentist needs is a sick patient that can make all of his other patients sick! OR... tell your dentist what is going on immediately and see what they say. BTW: tooth decay can do a lot more damage than an upset stomach - its linked to diabetes too. An abscess, if severe enough, can make you sick to your stomach, and if truly severe make you sick enough to be hospitalized due to the infection. Call your dentist right away and see what they want you to do... call NOW.

An infected decaying tooth that requires a root canal should be treated with antibiotics prior to the root canal. If you have not been treated with antibiotics your dentist is negligent and I would not go back to him. If indeed he did treat you with antibiotics, it is possible those are causing your nausea and vomiting and need to be changed.
A decaying tooth left untreated can allow the bacteria to proliferate and move on to other areas, the closest of concern being the brain, so tooth decay is no laughing matter.
So, if you are not on antibiotics, you need to see another dentist and get on them as soon as possible. If you are on antibiotics, you need to call your dentist and get a different antibiotic. Good luck to you.

I'll bet bad teeth make other people that have to look at them lightheaded and sick to their stomachs. But yeah, bacteria infection is what causes gum/tooth decay and that can get you sick.

If your tooth has an infection then it can certainly make you sick. You should call the dentist now, though, and tell them your symptoms. You could also have a virus and the dentist should decide if you should have the root canal tomorrow or not.

Yes. It should also be noted that an infection in the teeth can travel to the heart and cause heart problems. So, I would not wait any longer. See a dentist and have this taken care of. If you are afraid of the dentist, they do have dentist that specialize in sedation therapy for patients who are terrified of the dentist. That might be a better alternative, if you are afraid.

A gum infection from the decay could cause nausea and a lot of other things.
