Sinusitis is an infection in the sinuses that usually clears up on its own. This infection is often caused by a common cold or even by allergies. If your sinus infection lasts longer than 8 weeks or is recurring, it would be considered a chronic infection and you should visit your doctor.
Symptoms of sinusitis include:
When you’re trying to decipher whether your tooth pain is radiated pain from sinusitis or due to a dental disease. The best way to discover the source of your tooth pain is to schedule an appointment with your general dentist. A simple exam and an X-Ray can determine whether your tooth or your sinuses are the source of your discomfort.
Lastly, keep in mind that because the teeth and sinuses are so closely interconnected, an infection in one can lead to an infection in the other. Please seek dental and medical help if you believe you’re suffering from an infection of any kind.
