Question 8

: Sinus pressure can cause a dripping sensation in the head. When the sinuses become congested, the mucus can build up and create pressure in the sinus cavities. This pressure can then cause the mucus to drip down into the back of the throat, resulting in a post-nasal drip sensation. Additionally, the pressure in the sinus cavities can also cause a feeling of fullness or pressure near the ears.

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: If you have sinusitis, the mucosal lining of the sinus gets inflammed, &amp; swollen.The nerves to the upper teeth, run close to the lining of the sinus.The pressure of swollen lining on the nerves, can give you pain in the upper teeth.Sort of a dull annoying pain. Once the sinusitis is resolved, the lining of the sinus returns to normal &amp; release of pressure leads to relief of pain in the teeth.
