I was just looking at one of my tooth x-rays, taken at my last dental
appointment. ...Evidently, the bottom of my right maxillary sinus is
sitting right on the root tips of my upper wisdom tooth. ...Is it not
possible that for a stubborn, chronic infection in this area, an

My son's fiancee is having problems with his snoring.  I have
recommended earplugs, nasal dilators and strips and irrigation before
sleep.  He has already had two turbinate surgeries in childhood so I
hope he doesn't need somnoplasty.  He's not too keen on visiting a dr

Lately I have been getting some black specks coming out of my nose
