Why do you have a headache? Dental anesthesia for you should be just local. If you have a headache, it's probably not related to anesthesia.
Any number of things could cause the headache, so there’s no way to predict how long it will last. Typical approaches would be taking Tylenol, ibuprofen, caffeine, and fluid.
Headache with post-dental anesthesia is not so common. Unless you have migraines. If this is the case, could last hours.
