> "Also, there is no fluoride in it anymore" Good. There is absolutely no reason this should be in water.

  I see it from both sides. On one hand, I am no longer risking poisoning my brain with excessive fluoride. On the other hand, I now developed sensitivity in a tooth that is going to be a challenge to fix. This is despite me using fluoride toothpaste twice daily. Acidic foods can do more damage to teeth when there isn't fluoride in the drinking water. As a result, the saliva also lacks fluoride, and cannot protect the teeth so well anymore. It was my mistake for consuming an acidic food. I now have to see if expensive nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste can fix the sensitivity.

    Tooth aches in my experience are often unrelated to the tooth but instead due to sinus pressure (an infection, allergies, etc).

      The absence of fluoride initially causes severe dental sensitivity due to acidic foods, which is the concern here. If you have always been using fluoride toothpaste and drinking fluoride-containing tap water, you will not understand. Toothaches are indeed also caused by headaches, oral infections, and sinus infections/allergies/irritation. Sometimes it's sinus related and sometimes it isn't. These have nothing to do with tooth sensitivity.
