What can cause pressure like pain in upper jaw you have been to dentist and teeth are not the issue?

Oddly, an upper sinus infection can do this. The inflamed sinuses can press down upon one of the same nerves that lights up when you have a sore tooth. Try this: Hop gently on the heel of the foot on the same side. If it throbs in time with your jumping, it's a sinus effect. If it doesn't -- then maybe it's still a sinus effect but also possibly something else. You might be having some sinus problems, especially if you have had hay fever or a cold lately. Visit your GP.

Could a hole in the tooth on the right side cause severe headaches on that side?

Depends on the size of the hole and which tooth. If it is an upper molar, the roots could be within the sinus cavity.

Also, if the hole on the tooth is large enough, air, hot and cold stimuli and food could set the nerve off, triggering a headache. You should see your dentist for futher x-rays and examination.

If the tooth in question was an upper molar than there is a chance you may have an oro-antral fistula, which is a puncture of the maxillary sinus membrane. Common complaints with this condition include being able to blow air into your mouth, foul taste extruding from the socket, and sinusitis. Best to get it checked out be your dental provider if you are concerned as there are treatment modalities available.
