Yes, it would help.: It would be a good idea to take what ever you normally take for your headaches. Just the stress of having endodontic treatment can induce your headache and some local anesthetics can cause a headache as well. Good luck and feel better!

Take OTC Pain relief: The nature of root canal treatment requires patients to keep their mouth open for extended periods of time. This stretching of the muscle can lead to a headache.
