Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the dental procedure.
The headaches associated with dental problems are tension headaches.
These headaches are caused by muscle strain that builds up in the mouth and jaw.
It can be treated with anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
