output: hello I have gone through your query and understood your concern unfortunately taking medicines is not a permanent solution to dental pain there are several factors that cause dental pain and associated headache the most common cause is tooth decay however a clear clinical picture or an ray will help determine what is causing your pain when decay reaches the nerve of the tooth it starts to give out symptoms the nerve which supplies the tooth also supplies that side of the face hence the referred associated pain taking painkillers will help control the pain to some extent but it does nothing to cure the decay it can only be manually treated by removing them you may require an ray procedure to determine the extent of the decay and if the nerve of the tooth is involved a root canal treatment is generally done to remove infections and decay since it is the time of the pandemic dentists are providing emergency care only and some dentists prefer telephonic consultation prior to dental visit and treatment if the pain is unbearable even after taking medicines it is best to call up a dentist providing emergency care and get it treated I hope this helps
