Can Sinus Infections Cause Tooth And Lower Jaw Pain?

hi I have unbearable tooth pain on my right lower jaw radiating particularly from one tooth. the only thing that helps is holding a toothbrush behind it and pressing outward at a specific angle. I also have a sinus infection, could that be causing this? is there another issue?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tooth and lower jaw pain which does not seems to be due to sinus infection as chances of tooth pain due to sinus infection is there mainly in upper quadrant only. It seem sto be due to tooth infection in posterior tooth region. Need not to worry. Visit dentist once and get it examined through IOPA(intraoperative x-ray). Start treatment as per infection. If it is superficial go for tooth filling and if it is deep go for RCT. Take soft and liquid food substances and avoid chewing from that side. Do warm saline gargles. Maintain hygiene and get cleaning done.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
