Yes, it is quite possible to get eye hurt from toothache. It seems strange, but possible. Toothache often refers to pain around tooth or jaw. Tooth is composed of enamel and dentine. Usually food debris in mouth will turn to acid by chemical reaction of enzyme in saliva which will decay tooth. Small cavities usually won't draw attention of the patients. But once the cavity is getting bigger and deeper, the mild pain will develop to excruciating. Some patients suffering from serious pain in tooth also have headache, ear or eye pain.
