Can sinus infections cause pain in your teeth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Your upper molars and sometimes the bicuspids stick up into the sinus. If there is a sinus infection those teeth can hurt.

Yes: The roots of the back upper teeth can protrude or are in close proximity to the maxillary sinuses. If the sinuses are flaring up, this can cause your teeth to be sensitive.
