What Causes A Growth On The Roof Of The Mouth?

I had been having sinus trouble a couple of weeks- some irritation came up in roof of mouth (sore) , thought it was just from scratching area with food - when sore healed I could/can still feel lump in roof of mouth - had teeth cleaned the next week & checked that area (also have bone growth on outside of gums in same area, found 2yrs ago)- dentist said it was same type of growth & X-ray showed a tiny bit of enlarged roots around that area - will check again at next cleaning - 4 days later I'm at doc with sinus infection - started antibiotic- 5 days later feeling worse, doc called in steroids (9day) - I'm now 4 days into steroid - still having ear, sinus & pain all around teeth - all on left side -- could this be a problem with my teeth or is it all sinus? How do you determine? Is there something else I can do to speed healing?

The best way is to go for high resolution CT Scan.. This can reveal all the connections between all the things you have talked about .
The causative teeth be required to be removed.
You need a proper antibiotic course, anti-inflammatory and supportive medicines.
For speedy healing : nothing can be done other than removing the causative agent .
