I dont know if its necessarily a cold, maybe a sinus infection, but something, but my sinuses are stopped up, my nose is running, i have a cough and sneeze, and every time this happens to me (usually every winter) my teeth really hurt. Whats the reason for this?

Your sinus are so swollen that they are literally pushing on the roots of your teeth.
For some reason, my bottom teeth hurt at the same time as my top, but this makes no logical sense to me.
Here is a link concerning it

Most times I just grin and bare it, pop pain relievers and periodically ask someone to shoot me.

Yes, you most likely have an exposed nerve under your gum. It doesn't even have to mean that your gums are badly receding, some gum nerves can just indiscriminately longer then usual. I'm 43 and I've had one for the past 2 years. I've been to the dentist, and no cavities were found. I also use Sensodine toothpaste, and it still hurts when I drink cold liquids, or brush that tooth wt my electric toothbrush. Does anyone know of a way to take care of this. According to my dentist, my teeth and gums are in good health, and I fully trust that he is a good dentist. My gums are a 2.5, where a 5 means gingivitis. He told me that that number is okay for my age. He didn't mention anything about a need for a root canal. I just wish I could enjoy a cold drink once in a while once again. Any advice?

I don't believe this happens to everyone. It's a side affect that you get unfortunately when you are ill. However, I doubt seriously that you are alone. We all have our own little set backs. To feel secure though you should look up information on the internet. You never know.

It is because your sinuses are connected to the back of your throat, through your ears and head. The sinus pressure from your head and throat affect your jaws, so therefore, your teeth will hurt because of it.

I get the same thing, and I think it's because pressure in the sinus cavities pushes on nerves that connect to the teeth.

I think it has to do with your sinuses but I'm no doctor.

The pressure in your head from the congestion puts pressure on your gums.
