Dental pain is caused either by increased or reduced atmospheric pressure.

The branch of dentistry which is concerned with the teeth of those who are flying at high altitudes: Aerodontics pertains to an individual's teeth in a situation of increased or reduced atmospheric pressure.

Aerodentia is deals with the prevention and treatment of aerodontalgia.

Relating to the atlas and the dens of the axis.

The dens is a strong toothlike process projecting upward from the body of the axis, or epistropheus (pivot), around which the atlas rotates.

Toothache associated with the reduction in atmospheric pressure in high-altitude flying; aerodontalgia: Mr. Top, a pilot, was happy that he didn't contract barodontalgia with his teeth when flying for the airline company.

1. A reference to the shortness of one or more teeth: "The dentist noticed that his patient had several brachydont teeth which needed crowns to provide better chewing when eating."
