Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / May 2005Gum - Sinus Connection?
In ideal low-humidity windows-wide-open air, my sinuses improve remarkably (they echo hollowly, not too much drainage). My gums always improve at exactly the same time. (They take on an entirely less irritated tone and sort of smack entirely differently). Which of the following conceiable hypotheses is the likely explanation? (1) Air quality affects the gums also (2) The sinus inflammation that is normally spreads from the maxillary sinuses down to the gums. (3) There is an undetected dental problem that is contributing to the original sinusitis. After my dental visits, my sinus/gums feel irritated and congested. When I had my teeth cleaned last Fall the bacteria in my mouth was stirred up for 6 months . I thought I needed RC treatment or an extraction for a tooth. It took 6 months for the pain to go away. I just had a crown put on that tooth. It is okay now. The DDS could not find anything wrong with the tooth or my gums after numerous xrays. I went to my MD, he could not find anything either. shirley >After my dental visits, my sinus/gums feel irritated and congested.

That sounds like referred pain or pressure from the sinuses. Although I have noticed that if my mouth is already irritated (from coughing, for example), air pollution adds to the irritation and makes it feel worse. SignatureSteven D.

I don't feel any pain or pressure. I suspect that the inflammation itself can spread to adjacent tissues It is not a big issue for me - I just thought that it was interesting... |
