Can oral health issues cause fatigue and malaise?

In late April 2026 I started occasionally experiencing mild pain in several of my teeth, in all 4 corners of my mouth (but not all at the same time). At the same time as this pain started I started having fatigue and malaise that isn't normal for me. It feels weird and uncomfortable to think and I'm slower at thinking and writing, and my head feels heavy quite often.

I googled this question and multiple dentist's websites suggest that there are multiple ways that oral health issues can cause fatigue and malaise, but I haven't seen very many posts mentioning this here. Is fatigue/malaise a common thing that can happen due to bad oral health or are all of these dentist's websites lying?
