A member asked:

Can sore gums cause sinus pains in the face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, possibly: Sore gums may be a sign of an infection. If the infection is with the upper gums, the infection may sometimes spread to the sinuses leading to a sinusitis associated with sinus pains in the face.
