Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Bad teeth leading to headache and brain aneurysm is very much unlikely. The oral cavity needs to be examined. If there is any infective process it should be drained and treated with antibiotic cover.
Risk factors for having developed a brain aneurysms are cigarette smoking, disorders of the body's structural proteins in conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, chronic hypertension, history of cerebral aneurysms in family members esp in 1st degree relatives and polycystic kidney disease.
The decision on whether to screen for aneurysm or not should be taken by a neurologist, considering family history and individual presentation of risk factors.
Wishing you best of health
