My back left teeth have been hurting me for years.  Sometimes it moves
to the right and the bottom.I went to a dentist a few years ago when it
was hurting real bad and he took an Xray and said there was nothing
wrong with my tooth and maybe it was a Sinus infection.  I just thought
he was a bad dentist and lived with it. But, over the years I am
starting to see that he is right.  Here is all I have tried.  I have
been off and on antibiotics for up to 6 months at a time trying to
clear a sinus infection and I do the nasil rinse and keep plenty of
Saline spays, steroid sprays, allergy things but I can still feel that
their is something in there.  My teeth area will still hurt at times. I
am not sick at the moment but it flairs up quickly.  Do I need to see
an ear nose and throat doctor? Do they need to get to the sinus above
my teeth and take a culture.  I don't have insurance so I don't want to
spend money only to hear that I need to see someone different.  What
should the plan be for something like this.
Thanks very much

I had pain like you are talking about near the roots of my teeh for
months 2 years ago. I had xrays, went tosee my MD about maybe a sinus
infection bu nothing.

It must have been 6 months this lasted. My DDS finally sent me to have
the tooth extracted but I kept delaying this.
Then 1 morning I woke up with a warm clot like jellyin my mouth. (I
could see thru it as it was clear). No more pain after that.

It was the strangest thing.

That is really weird? I wonder if it came from the sinus?  Thankfully
you didn't get the tooth pulled. Did you have sinus problems before and
after this? Did anything else change in regards to sinus health?
Thanks

I still have sinus problems and did before I had that strangeness.

My DDS did an xray that showed below the gumline and nothing showed on
it at that time. She thought I might need root canal on that tooth. It
hurt like a toothache morning and night.

I have had aching below my teeth before when I had a bad sinus
infection.

I had the same thing. ...The pain was coming from a tooth that had
already been root-canaled.  ...The pain felt just like an abscessed
tooth.       This was before I was aware that the sinuses could be
related to the pain.   Unfortunately, the dentist cut the gum, right up
to the tip of the root.  He couldn't find any infection, but put a
little filling in the root tip, just the same.     ...I know now that it
was definitely a sinus problem.   Amazing how the pain can be referred
like that.   ...Jon
