Question 1

can sinusitis cause tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are only 2 layers of cells separating your maxillary sinuses from your upper molar root tips. If you have sinusitis you may have sore feet. Sit down, lean forward and put your face between your knees. If pressure/pain noticeably increases, it's probably a sinus problem. If so, see your PCP or Urgent Care. If not, see your Dentist.

Question 2

can you have sinusitis without nasal congestion? i have all the symptoms, headache, cheeck pain, tooth pain and sneezing from allergies...

Accepted Answer

YES: Although nasal congestion is usually present in patients with acute/chronic sinusitis the infection itself can be primary and a part of a generalized "upper respiratory" infection. Bacterial infections of the sinus is often by organisms which "reside" there and are "activated" by a viral infection of the throat/nose upper airway.  
Hope this helps

Question 3

i get sinus pain with shooting pains in my ear, often is accompanied by mouth sores and/or tooth pain.  how are mouth sores and sinusitis related?

Accepted Answer

2 separate problems: 1. A sinus infection or inflammation can cause a toothache, especially in the upper molars. These problems should be managed by your PCP or ENT. 2. Mouth sores (aphthous ulcers) are painful sores inside the mouth. The sore may be painful for three or four days, but complete healing usually takes ten to fifteen days. Canker sores may recur many times each year. No cure is available.

Question 4

how toothache can cause sinusitis  , with knowing the tooth with root canal treatment (upper right first molar)?

Accepted Answer

Tooth\sinus problems: Toothaches do not cause a sinusitis. If you have an infected upper tooth whose root is near the floor of the maxillary sinus, and it has an infection (whether or not it has had root canal therapy), the infection can spread to the sinus causing a sinusitis or sinus infection. A sinusitis or sinus infection can present as a toothache even if nothing is wrong with the tooth.
