Air pressure tooth: The short answer is yes. If you are experiencing pain in the upper teeth it is usually associated with the sinus membrane. Many times the roots of the upper teeth lay in the floor of your sinus. When pressure is put on your sinus then sometimes it puts pressure on the roots of the teeth, causing tooth pain.

Yes: I can always tell when a storm is coming because about a week before hand we get an abundance of patients calling our office with toothaches that I have associated with the change in air pressure. I don't know the exact cause for the correlation, but it is definitely significant.
