Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Headache and toothache are not related. They have different reasons for their ache. If you have pain in your teeth please see your dentist and get examined. Deep lesions require root canal treatment. Treatment is carried out under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain. Please do not be apprehensive and continue with your treatment. Regarding your headache please see your physician. That could be due to vision problem or sinusitis too. Hope t helps. Wish you good health. Thanks. Take care.
