Surprisingly, there is a distinct connection between oral health and headaches. The most common dental issues that can cause headaches or migraines include:
Headaches after dental work usually go away after a few hours, and even recurring headaches don’t necessarily mean your dentist has acted negligently.
However, if you believe your headaches are a direct result of your dentist failing to uphold their duty of care responsibilities, and you have suffered because of this, then you may be eligible to make a claim for dental negligence.
As we’ve already mentioned, recurring headaches after dental work are usually a symptom of other dental problems, so the first thing you need to do is consult a dental professional to get a proper diagnosis. If it’s found that your headaches have been caused by negligent dental treatment, such as an infection or nerve damage during dental work, you might have the basis for a claim.
Bear in mind that you only have three years to make a claim from the date you became aware that the dental negligence had taken place, so we recommend starting the claims process as soon as possible.

Cavities and infections in your mouth have been known to lead to headaches, and regular cleanings and proper treatment can help reduce those risks. So, with this in mind, you shouldn’t suffer from headaches as a direct result of a dental cleaning and a prolonged headache may be a sign of another problem that needs to be treated.
If you’re concerned, get in touch with your dentist straight away.
Though it is rare, there is some evidence to suggest that a dental bridge may be the cause of headaches if it isn’t managed correctly. If you are concerned, it is important that you get a full diagnosis from your dentist as soon as possible.
Like cavities, dental cysts can cause several oral health problems and need to be treated as quickly as possible. Some of the issues dental cysts can cause include:
All these issues can cause dental related tension, and therefore lead to headaches. Be sure to seek your dentist’s advice if you believe you might have a dental cyst.
In rare cases, you may develop a dental cyst after a dental procedure. Whilst this doesn’t always mean that your dentist was negligent when they treated you, if they did deliver care that wasn’t up to standard and you have suffered as a result, you might be eligible to make a claim for dental negligence compensation.

Temporary adverse effects of dental anaesthesia that affect some people can include blurred vision, dizziness, headaches and vomiting. It is important to stay hydrated after a dental anaesthetic, and if the symptoms persist for over 24 hours, contact your dentist for further investigation.
Whilst large doses of radiation can cause harmful effects, radiation doses from diagnostic medical exams, like dental x-rays, should not cause headaches or make you sick. If your headache persists, it could be a sign that another issue is at play. Contact your dentist to seek advice.
Whilst experiencing headaches after dental work isn’t always a sign that something has gone wrong, in some rare cases your dentist might have made a mistake or been negligent in their care, resulting in you being injured or requiring further treatment.

We offer a free consultation so that you can find out if you can make a claim. Get in touch today for more information.
Dental implants, usually made of titanium, are metal posts which are surgically implanted into the jawbone with a false tooth placed over the top. Titanium itself is highly biocompatible and is used in most surgical implant procedures; so, the dental implant should integrate with your jawbone easily. This means that, as the bone heals it should fuse naturally with the titanium and should not cause headaches.
Because of this, if you find that you are experiencing headaches following a dental implant, you should contact your dentist immediately as it could be a sign of a different issue such as:
If you believe that your dentist has been negligent when fitting a dental implant and you have suffered an injury as a result, it’s possible that you might be able to claim compensation. Contact us for more information.
