Yes it can, if left untreated cavities can rot threw the enamel and into the pulp of the tooth(which has blood vessels and nerve endings attached to it). Cavities can actually rot down to the jaw bone in extreme cases. In cases this severe, its not unheard of for people to die of blood infects in such cases.

Tooth decay can affect digestion by causing pain or sensitivity when chewing food, which may lead to avoidance of certain foods that are difficult to chew. This can result in poor food choices and insufficient breakdown of food particles, impacting the digestive process. Additionally, tooth decay can lead to oral infections that may spread to the digestive tract, affecting overall digestion and absorption of nutrients.
