Tooth Pain Can Be Caused By Sinus Problems

While you should always consult your dentist when you have toothache or other tooth pain, your tooth pain might be caused by your sinuses.

Did you know that the largest pair of sinus cavities you have are above the back teeth of your upper jaw? Sometimes the roots of your teeth might even extended into the cavity! This is how sinusitis can cause a toothache. Inflammation or an infection in your sinus cavities can cause pain that radiates from behind your upper teeth.

Is your tooth pain a symptom of sinusitis? The only way to be sure is to consult your dentist and the experts at South Texas Sinus Institute. Call us at 956-661-8200 or request an appointment online today.
