A member asked:
I'm having a tooth ache, at times i can't tell which one hurts. i also have a headache and congestion. is this a sinus infection or true tooth ache?

Could be either: Upper molars can get rather painful during a sinus infection. It's also very possible that a bad toothache can radiate pain to the entire area. Your dentist should be able to tell you whether you have a sinus infection or isolate a particular tooth that is causing the problem.

Seeb doctor: Once you see a doctor, your doctor can tell you which one you have -sinus or toothache from the exam.

Can't tell: Without an examination of your teeth and sinuses, it is impossible to say for sure. Multiple upper teeth hurting at once would suggest sinus irritation as a cause, but if its lower teeth the cause might be clenching/grinding. Ofcourse, decay of the teeth could also cause your complaint. The only way to know is for you to have you're tooth looked at.
