10 Symptoms of an Abscessed Tooth
Symptom #7: Headaches or Migraines
A headache refers to pain that occurs anywhere in the region of the head or neck. A migraine is a headache that is characterized by the recurrent episodes that range from moderate to severe. It can be described as pulsating and affects one half of the head lasting from two to seventy-two hours.
It is associated with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and exacerbated by activity. Tooth abscesses can cause headaches or migraines due to the location of the trigeminal nerve. Jaw tightening and clenching from a toothache can also contribute to headaches or migraines.
