Need an exam: I don't suspect that the dent is causing the headache but it would be advisable to have a physician exam that in person. As for the headache, it it's fairly consistent and new then again, a consultation with a physician is recommended because there are a broad range of causes for headaches such as tension headache, sinus headaches, migraines, neuropathies, muscle spasms and spinal issues.
