Has anyone experienced a headache that also included tooth pain?

The frequency of these headaches is variable. I may go a week or two without one, then get a headache 3-4 days in a row. Sometimes they last all day, other times they come and go to varying degrees throughout the day. Advil helps sometimes but not always. Sometimes Advil helps for awhile then the headache comes right back. The doctors I’m talked to just don’t know. If anyone has experienced a headache with teeth pain like this, your advice would be appreciated.

If there's nothing wrong with your teeth - like an infected tooth, etc. - then it could be something with the trigeminal nerve. You may have something wrong with your teeth that you aren't aware of, or it could be something neurological.

It could also be that you are grinding your teeth at night, stressed and clenching your jaw - things like that - https://www.humana.com/prevention-and-care/healthy-living-and-prevention/dental-health/toothaches

Since they are so frequent, you should get this checked out.
