13 Secrets of Oral Health | Everyday Health
Many people experience some degree of tooth sensitivity. A study published in the March 2013 issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) revealed that 1 in 8 people have sensitive teeth. But many don’t discuss the condition with their dentist.
If you have sensitive teeth, you may think that the discomfort you feel when you eat or drink cold, hot, sweet, spicy, or sour foods or beverages is normal, and that the solution is simply to avoid trigger foods and drinks.

So it’s important to focus on eating healthy foods that also help promote oral health.

"If you are suffering from both a headache and a toothache, it's natural to wonder if the two symptoms are related.
