Headache pain due to a tooth problem?

I've been having some horrible pain in my head. Almost like a pressure, thumping feeling that does come a go. I'm trying to decide if it's related to a dental issue. I have a hug hole in my top molar, also along with some cavities and gum tenderness. Could this be related?
Ive' been on some advil and percocet but can't seem to budge the pain very well.
Is this a nerve thing? Or should I go into the ER?
Thanks

Hi to all,

Teeth plays an important role in our body. We can take food through the teeth. Dental problem may affect the body basically headache. There is an inner part connected to the head and dental. If the dental problem is major, it directly affect the head and to our body.

Hello,
Dental problems can cause headache and migraine. Dental abscesses, infection and difficulties with jaw joint can cause local pain and referred pain to head and face. Headaches from dental stress cause a muscle tension headache. A tension headache can give the feeling as if a steel band were wrapped around it. The pain feels like a dull, non-throbbing ache. See a dentist and get evaluated. Hope it helped.
Best luck and regards!
