Can hair color predict sensitivity to dental pain, asks Danbury, CT dentist Jay M. Marks, DMD4/20/2013  CNN reports that those who have red locks are more sensitive to dental pain than all others. Clairol (Natural Instincts) has no data on natural vs. artificial hair color, so it may be safe to assume that the study refers only to natural born redheads.
These findings pertain to dentistry, in that red heads may need more anesthesia to be as numb as the rest of us. Dr. Marks states, that the American Dental Assoc. (ADA) reports, that being anxious about dental treatment causes red heads to be 2 times more hesitant to see their dentist. This applies to both male and female patients. D. Sessler, MD, of the Cleveland Ohio Clinic, one of the researchers, states red heads require more local and general anesthetics. This is why they have a higher rate of not obtaining dental treatment, due to their poor past dental experiences.  Can this be true?

A recent experiment with children showed that kids who ate the bears with xylitol 3 times/day over 6 hrs, had less dental plaque and bugs.
