Headaches can also be made worse from flying. It doesn’t usually require any type of medical attention beyond Advil.
It’s one thing for an adult to make that decision for themselves. I think making the decision to allow your 7 year old child suffer in pain for a 14 hour flight crosses that line. Especially when the cause of the toothache is unknown. How do you know it isn’t ‘something else serious’? The child certainly wouldn’t be able to tell you.
