Yes: This is common. You usually have pain in the back upper left and right side teeth. The roots of these teeth are close to your sinuses.

Sometimes: Sometimes a sinus infection can refer discomfort to some teeth but most times is the opposite, a tooth infection where one of the roots is located inside the sinus cavity can create an infection in your sinuses, your dentist will be able to diagnose it.

Yes: Upper molars and bicuspids sometimes cuspids w long roots, whose roots are near or adjacent to the maxillary sinuses will be tender to biting pressure and or throb when the sinuses are inflamed. Antibiotics and decongestants will mitigate these symptoms.

During or after: Yes, upper posterior teeth. However, it tooth pain persists after resolution of sinus infection, it may be primarily a dental problem. If so, see dentist.
