I have 2 upper wisdom teeth; decayed. If I have these pulled will my
sinus problems go away?
Thanks.

I've had my wisdom teeth pulled. I still have my sinus problems.

What kind of sinus problems? Did your situation improve after the
wisdom teeth removal?
thanks.

Hard to say.  An abscess in an upper molar tooth can spread infection
into the sinuses, yes.  But sinus problems can be caused by lots of
other things.  If your dentist said your upper wisdom teeth are decayed
but not abscessed, then that's probably not the cause.

I don't know.  I would say they're most likely not helping anything one bit.
:-(  If you had sinus problems before your wisdom teeth erupted, then you'll
probably still have sinus problems when they're out.  But you won't have
wisdom-tooth-decay cooties floating around in your system, either.
