Yes, mouth pain can trigger migraines. For example, an impacted wisdom tooth can cause pain that channels into the head, potentially triggering migraines. Addressing the dental issue, such as through surgery, and managing stress and diet can help reduce migraine frequency.

Additionally, tooth grinding and jaw clenching (bruxism) can also lead to migraines. Signs include headaches after jaw activity, jaw pain, and ringing in the ears. Treatment options include night guards, Botox, and physical therapy.
