Toothache accompanied by headache on one side of the head may be caused by conditions such as acute pulpitis and can be treated with medications or surgery. Typically, under a physician’s guidance, appropriate anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications may be used. If pharmacological treatment proves ineffective, pulp chamber drainage (pulpotomy) surgery may be performed to alleviate the condition.
During recovery, bed rest should be prioritized.
