Dull headache at back of head, caused by teeth? Please Help!?
I've been having this really dull head-ache on and off for the last few weeks. It only lasts for 20 mins or so normally but it is recurring, some days I get it a few times, others just once. Its not sharp or stabbing pain, just pressure (I guess its more like a tension-headache) but it sometimes gets worse, wont shift and I take some ibuprofen tablets until it does.
The pain seems to make my teeth feel a little bit numb, as if its going down to my molars at the top of my mouth. Both molars have exposed holes in them due to cracking (i do have fillings and the dentist just told me to 'brush carefully...) but I'm wondering whether thats got something to do with the headaches? The teeth themselves don't hurt and ones been cracked for about a year, the other more recently, like a month ago. But these headaches are just hanging round and irritating me.
I'm a little bit health paranoid and so its getting me down a bit, trying not to obsess. I do have a small lump to the back above my left ear which may or may not have been there before but its not painful in that spot exactly.
Please help!

1. I'll share my experience with Ibuprofen. I Would like it better if it was more effective against pain, but it generally works as described. Lasts about 3 to 4 hours. Side effects: none. I purchase Ibuprofen through reputable http://www.lipmanpharmacy.com/ they've been very reliable so far. Check this FDA link about Ibuprofen http://google2.fda.gov/search?client=FDAgov&site=FDAgov-Recalls-Safety|FDAgov-Consumers|FDAgov-WarningLetters-ICECI|FDAgov-ImportAlerts-Industry|FDAgov-MedWatch-Safety|FDAgov-Section-Drugs&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=FDAgov&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_q=ibuprofen&num=20&btnG=Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&restrictBox=FDAgov-Recalls-Safety&restrictBox=FDAgov-Consumers&restrictBox=Medwatch&restrictBox=FDAgov-WarningLetters-ICECI&restrictBox=FDAgov-ImportAlerts-Industry&restrictBox=FDAgov-Section-Drugs&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&sort=dateHope i helped.
