Pain: You should be examined for your headache and toothache. Just because pain goes away doesn't mean that the problem has self cured. You may have associated problems, or two coincident unrelated problems. The only way to find out is to be examined by BOTH your Dentist and your Physician.

Shooting Pain: Multiple possibilities, including sinus issues, non-vital teeth, and bruxism. See your dentist first to rule out tooth related causes, then see your physician.
