Headaches and toothaches are often linked. A comprehensive examination, as well as consideration of the patient's symptoms and medical history, can help a dentist establish if a toothache is the source of a headache. Pain that spreads across the face might be difficult to identify. Feeling pain behind the eyes, a sore jaw, and frequent cracking of jaw joints are all symptoms that a dental disease is responsible for the headache. To identify if a toothache is the cause of a headache, a dentist may perform a proper clinical examination, take diagnostic radiographs, and perform neurological tests.
