Brief Answer: Yes there is a link Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. Yes teeth pain can cause headache for many reasons. One reason is radiating nerve pain. Second reason is bone pain. Third can be infections. If toothache is due to cavity then probably the pulp has gotten affected and is causing the pain. In such a case you will need antibiotics like amoxicillin etc along with pain-killers. For this you will need to see a dentist. Till you see a dentist. I will advise you to take pain-killers as needed. You can try brufen 200 mg twice a day. If it is not working then you can try tab diclofenac or naproxen. You should also use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice a day. Hope it helps. Dr Vaishalee
