If you have tooth pain you should see a dentist. Old mercury fillings can develop decay under the filling if the fillings no longer make a tight seal.
If you have tooth pain, that is a bad sign. Take care of it before you need a root canal. I have had three root canals. They can be very painful and expensive to treat.

The weather isn't much of a factor in terms of teeth exposed to temperature changes. More important is not to expose the teeth to large temperature changes, such such eating very hot food then drinking a very cold beverage.
