Can bad toth inpact to sugar levels?
 
Yes - any infection can affect your levels. Best to see your dentist.
 
Can infection higher to much levels or just affect a little bit
 
Absolutely. I have just had a tooth infection. I've been given metronidazole antibiotics to clear the infection and my sugars have been very high. I have had to increase my basal insulin quite a lot to bring my sugars back in range.
As Robert said definitely need a visit to the dentist.
