Dental Sinus Infection Symptoms: The Definitive Guide

Dental sinus infections and toothaches can cause several symptoms. Pressure or facial pain is common, but could also be indicative of something more serious.

The symptoms of a dental sinus infection or toothache include pressure or facial pain, but they may also indicate something more serious. Read on to learn more.

KAMPALA, UGANDA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Pressure or facial pain are common symptoms of a dental sinus infection or toothache, however, they may also indicate something more serious.

  • When you have a dental sinus infection, you might be surprised to know that you have one as well. Sinuses are air-filled pockets in your face located near your eyes, forehead, and cheekbones. 
  • While these pockets are designed to protect your nose from irritants, they can become clogged with mucus. As a result, these air-filled cavities can produce excess mucus, causing toothaches and pressure on the nerves that run to the root of your teeth.
  • While most cases settle on their own, there are some symptoms you may notice when you have a dental sinus infection. First, your teeth and gums will become tender to percussion on the affected side. 
  • You will also notice that the infraorbital nerve is impaired, and you may have diffuse radiopacity on occiput metric films. However, once the acute infection has resolved, dental sinus infection symptoms can often occur, including post nasal drip.

The symptoms of a dental sinus infection are similar to those of a regular toothache. They often affect the upper molars, but may be felt in several teeth. The pain may also be accompanied by a fever or low energy. 

You should also see a dentist if you notice any of these symptoms. You can seek treatment for sinus infection by addressing the underlying cause. You should also be cautious around people with a dental sinus infection, because they may be suffering from this disease.

A dental sinus infection may cause you to experience facial pain, but the pain is more likely to come on after the acute cold has cleared. These symptoms usually appear a few days after the cold has passed, and can be accompanied by a fever and malaise. 

You may notice that you have a persistent, dull, throbbing pain in your nose or the back of your throat. If you bite your tongue, this pain may intensify.

Symptoms

While the first dental sinus infection symptom is a toothache, it can also be indicative of a more serious underlying medical condition. 

The pain that often accompanies this disorder is usually intense and focused, and can get worse with certain movements, such as chewing or standing. Initially, the pain is often a result of a viral cold, and can later develop into a superimposed bacterial infection. 

Other causes include allergies, changes in temperature or air pressure, and chemical irritants. People with certain medical conditions like asthma are at an increased risk of developing this infection.

Acute sinusitis typically begins several days after the symptoms of a cold. During this time, pain, nasal obstruction, purulent secretion, fever, and malaise may also be present. 

Patients may also experience persistent pounding in the cheeks or jaw, and their teeth may also throb. 

Toothache is typically accompanied by facial swelling, which may be indicative of a more serious dental problem, says the best dentist in Rockefeller Center. In addition to pain, patients may also experience facial swelling.

Pain in the face or head is usually more intense when you bend over or move vigorously. The pain from a toothache is a dull ache that is not accompanied by fever.

Pain from an oral problem is often sharp and throbbing, and it can also be sensitive to hot or cold foods.

Causes

You may experience tooth pain if you have a sinus infection. The large sinuses in the face are located on either side of the nose. Because the roots of the upper teeth are close to these sinuses, they often swell when inflamed. 

This pressure puts pressure on the roots of the upper teeth, causing an aching sensation. You should not ignore dental pain. If you’ve noticed tooth pain in your mouth, you should seek medical attention.

If you’re suffering from tooth pain due to a sinus infection, you may want to seek medical attention. This is because the pain is a symptom of a more serious condition. In addition to pain, you may experience a runny nose. 

Symptoms of a dental sinus infection may be similar to those of an infection. You may experience pain in the molars, front teeth, or upper back teeth. Your infection may even spread to the brain, causing serious complications.

Treatment

The treatment for dental sinus infection symptoms varies depending on the location and severity of the condition. Most extraoral dental sinuses start from the lower jaw tooth and drain into the cheek, submandibular area, or chin. 

The sinuses can be far removed from the tooth that is infected, making the condition a complex one. The painful symptoms of dental sinusitis can also be indicative of other underlying dental problems.

Antibiotics are often prescribed to alleviate sinus symptoms, but these medications do little to treat the underlying causes. The antibiotics will only reach the surface of the tooth, not the factory of bacteria that is deep inside the tooth. 

In time, the infection will return, and the symptoms will recur several months after the antibiotics have been taken. Therefore, treatment for dental sinus infection symptoms should be guided by your dentist.

Prevention

Many people do not realize that an infected tooth can also cause a sinus infection. Often, patients suffer from this condition for years before they realize the true source of the problem. 

Although antibiotics can temporarily relieve symptoms, they do not completely eliminate the bacteria factory that resides in the tooth. As soon as blood flow resumes, the infection will return. Prevention of dental sinus infection symptoms involves taking care of any infected tooth.

In addition to pain in the teeth, dental sinus infection symptoms can be quite varied. Some symptoms include a runny nose, facial pressure, colored nasal discharge, and a change in your sense of smell. 

However, you should not ignore any symptoms, including a throbbing, aching tooth. This pain can be a sign of an underlying dental problem that requires a dental exam to determine the source. 

A dentist will examine you for signs of dental sinus infection and determine if it’s something that should be addressed.
