Abstract
|
|
|
|
Headache is a common pain disorder. Primary headaches constitute most headache disorders, with migraine and tension headaches being the most common. In contrast, secondary headaches are rare and accompanied by the underlying disease. Headaches due to dental diseases and temporomandibular disorders have also been reported. Patients complaining of headaches are often observed in dental clinics, so distinguishing each headache is crucial for specific management. Therefore, dentists should be familiar with the diagnostic criteria for primary and secondary headaches. Moreover, some secondary headaches can be life-threatening or red flags of serious diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage and brain tumor, so it is necessary to differentiate them and take emergency management or refer the patient to the appropriate department.
