Does a toothache cause headache?

It's possible but...: More than likely, the stress of the toothache is causing the headache, or it's unrelated.

Ache: Yes it can. Inflammation and swelling locally can radiate up into the temporalis muscle causing spasm and pain. Also maxillary sinus involvement can cause headache
