Its only just started. I have been getting headaches at the top of my head/ temples for about a week or two. Went to my doctor, she said it was ok and my blood pressure was fine too. But now the teeth on the right side of my face are feeling achey, and then a bit numb alternatively, kind of in the roots, and theres a really warm sensation spreading up the right side of my face, and it also feels a bit numb. I'm a bit worried, and I don't think my doctor really took my worries into consideration, so any opinions/ideas would be appreciated.
I'm 14 if that helps

I had this - at first my doctor said I had sinusitus and gave me antibiotics.
This didn't help so I saw my dentist. She was really good - explained about the nerves in your face running from your cheeks to your temples....and so the pain from teeth can make the whole side of your face hurt and give you headache.......sounds like you could have a sore tooth or an infection in your gum - go see the dentist
I didn't have a bad tooth - but I was really stressed atthe time - moving house - problems at work- death in the family....apparantly these nerves in your face get be effected by stress
Are you stressed?
Once my dentist established that it was stress....I tried to relax and not worry about it and it went away.
get well soon x

You either have an infection in your sinus cavity/tooth, grind your teeth, experiencing TMJ, or a combination of these. Check with your dentist. If nothing is happening there, the doc needs to check you out for TMJ. Even better (which is what I'd prefer), go to a chiropractor that does natural medicine and see if it can be relieved and eliminated without drugs. In short, don't leave any options out or this could get really ugly if not checked out.

The doctor wasn't able to find anything obviously wrong, and as the problem seems to originate from your teeth, you should see your dentist as soon as possible. The most common cause of these symptoms is Wisdom teeth that are growing improperly; this can put pressure on the lingual nerve that runs through your jawbone on that particular side of your face and can cause numbness and loss of feeling on that side. Whatever the cause, you should see your dentist very soon, as it's highly unlikely that it will 'get better' on its own. (Or, if it does, the problem will return at a later date!). If he is unable to diagnose the problem, he may refer you back to your doctor.

It sounds like you grind your teeth in your sleep. Have mom or dad check on you a couple of times during the nite to see. If so, you should probably get to the dentist. He can fit you with a mouth guard that fits over your teeth, or you can even buy some OTC.

First of all it is not normal to have headaches. Therefore, change doctor. Providing you have healthy teeth and molars
I would see a neurologist. In the meantime, do relaxing exercises specially related to your face. There are great
cassettes where you can follow directions and learn how to relax.
Good luck.

See your dentist.
Possibly TMJ (temporal - mandibular joint) pain.
This is something that should not be ignored. Talk to your folks and have them get you into the dentist first to rule out dental problems. Then back to the doctor for a more careful look, possibly xrays or MRI.

this is ok, you'll be fine. every now-&-then i get one of those too. just take an advil, ibprofen, tylenol, etc. {mostly pain killers} it might feel like they arent helping but they are. just keep taking pain killers {maybe every other 2 hours or so} and dont eat anything for a while {even if it isnt sweet} and dont drink any sodas either. Water is probably ok. Just let the pain killers do their job and if that still doesnt help do like the person who answered the question first, go to the dentist and get checked out. He/She can probably give you a powerful pain killer for it.
