See dentist or ENT: Because the maxillary sinuses are in the upper jaw and in proximity to the upper dental roots, a sinus infection may result in sinus pressure. Acute sinusitis can sometimes cause you to feel pain in your teeth. Do not perform any dental treatment before sinus infection is ruled out. Simple sinus CT and examination will support or reject the diagnosis. Good luck.

Pressure upper teeth: This maybe due to sinus problems . The nerves the supply the teeth run thrush the sinuses and the pain you are feeling is referred pain . Try a mild decongestant such as over the counter Zyrtetc D . If your nasal secretions are colored snd the problem has been going on for a long time , you may see your Doc for antibiotics treatment . If no Imptovement , see ENT snd a dentist . Good luck .

Upper pressure: This is typically related to sinusitis, either from allergies or infection. However, you could also be experiencing pressure from other dental causes such as bruxism or a local problem. See your dentist to rule out dental cause and consult with your physician regarding sinus involvement. Note that more than one thing can also be occurring at the same time. Need exams and not assumptions.

Vague: Get your issues checked out. Could be a tooth problem, could be sinus infection, could be both or could be some other trigger. Don't wait.

Need consult: If an upper tooth is infected it can produce gas and other infectious products which can produce pressure on the whole side of the upper via the sinuses causing the symptoms you describe. First you must visit a dentist for a diagnosis. He/she will check for possible abcesses and/or impacted wisdom teeth. These are the two most common conditions that produce your symptoms.

Possibilities...: The most possible causes would be: 1. Cavity or dental infection. 2. Wisdom teeth 3. Sinus pressure from a cold or allergies. You will need to use your judgment and determine what you think may be causing your discomfort. If may need to see your dentist and/or doctor to come up with an appropriate diagnosis.
