Consider: If these are indeed daily, then the label "chronic daily headaches" would apply, and these might be due to migraine, or tension cephalgia, but with the pain into the temples, could there be a dental issue such as temperomandibular joint problems? So, here, maybe check in with both primary care doctor and dentist.

Clench: If he push the area and it hurts it is likely muscle pain caused by grinding or clenching of the teeth. This could happen at day, night or both. If he pushes on the area and it doesn't hurt, other causes for the pain needs to be explored.
