Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / February 2005Sinus' and toothaches?
I have been to my DDS for 2 months with a toothache that I cannot sleep at night. She took xrays, check the teeth (molar) and cannot find the cause for this pain. I had another one last night and I woke up. Took 1000 mg tylenol and in a few hours went back to sleep. My sinus are okay, at least I donot feel any thing is going on there. Any ideas or sites to help me????? shirley >I have been to my DDS for 2 months with a toothache that I cannot sleep >at night.

Heart problems can sometimes cause pain that is hard to distinguish from tooth pain. thebagladyshirleyann@webtv.net (Shirley Thebaglady) wrote: >I have been to my DDS for 2 months with a > toothache that I cannot sleep at night.

The Dentist could not detect anything on the x-ray, but cut the outside gum, right up to the root tip where he put a filling in (just in case there was a leak up there). ...It didn't cure the problem. Turns out, it was the pressure within my sinuses that was causing the pain. I haven't had any more problem since I started irrigating. ...Jon > I have been to my DDS for 2 months with a toothache that I cannot sleep > at night.

TMJ can do this, esp if you grind your teeth in sleep. Some TMJ suggestions at www.ent-consult.com Thanks everyone for your help. Last night I had no pain . I took sinus tablets of Tylenols Nighttime yesterday. Gargled with warm salt water last night. My sinus started to drain by the afternoon. I do not see my DDS until mid March and hope to have this cleared up. shirley thebagladyshirleyann@webtv.net (Shirley Thebaglady) wrote: >Thanks everyone for your help. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >shirley Hi Shirley... I forgot to mention... ...The pain transmitted from my sinusitis to this particular molar was indistinguishable from the multiple times that I've been plagued by tooth abscesses. The only difference between the two, is that with an abscess, a noticeable swelling will gradually develop (after a few days), at the lowest point in the gum. Further.... Because an abscessed tooth can make the whole side of your mouth sore, a Dentist will usually do the "tap" test to find the infected culprit. With my "referred pain" from the sinus, the tooth was also sensitive to this particular test. ...Jon
