Multiple: Headache/toothache combination may or may not be related. There may be separate causes. However, infections (dental, sinus, etc) and/or malocclusion can cause localized or referred pain. See your family doctor to evaluate your headaches. See your general dentist to evaluate your toothaches. They may want to refer you for specialist evaluation. Ask them to consult with each other.

Abcess: Better have a thorough dental checkup. You could be experiencing an abcessed tooth or require other dental treatment.

See a dentist: If you have a toothache and it lasts more than 24 hours you should contact a dentist. Medication may not solve your problem and what you need is real dental care.
