Headache: you can take whatever OTC pain medication that is safe for you, ibuprophen is one that will help. The most important thing to do is to see a dentist ASAP

Very common: Tooth pain can lead a variety of symptoms including severe headaches, ear pain, dizziness, and more. See your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment. You can take NSAIDs and Tylenol (acetaminophen) OTC to control your pain until a dentist can be seen.
