Can Cold Weather Make My Teeth Hurt?

Is it possible for someone with healthy teeth to experience cold weather sensitivity? Yes. You can have completely intact, cavity-free tooth enamel and still experience moderate to severe discomfort caused by cold temps.In most cases, cold weather won’t make your teeth hurt unless you’re breathing in through your mouth (where your teeth are exposed) or you’re outside for an extended period of time and your mouth is uncovered. Tooth sensitivity to cold is one of the most common dental problems that people experience. If you know you’re going to be spending a lot of time out in the snow, for instance, and you don’t have a scarf or something covering part of your face, your teeth might get a bit sensitive the longer you’re outdoors. Your lips and cheeks only provide so much insulation!
