Sure. There is a strong possibility that germs thriving in a gum infection can affect other surrounding tissues. If a gum infection develops into a deep abcess it could extends into the skull bones because they are porous.
Also, a gum infection usually drain liquids that are swallowed by the affected person and in such a way, the infection can spread to the throat and in some extreme cases even the digestive system. there are also recent studies that link gum infections to an increased chance of having a heart attack as well. Sometime these infections become "endemic", spread generally throughout the body and lodge in various organs, in addition to causing heightened immune response and the sickness that goes along with that. Take care of your teeth and gums!

∙ 12y agoThat has to be some very big infection if it would spread like that. If you are referring to pain in the ears because you have a gum infection it's very common. Toothache can hurt the entire jaw and ear. Along the jaw is a very big nerve and as you know the jaw leads up to the ear. Take care of the infection and you'll see the ear will be fine.
