I just had a tooth pulled and think my sinus cavity is open?

Maxillary tooth?: It's possible, but without further info, can't tell over the internet. Call the dentist who extracted the tooth as an emergency.

See oral surgeon now: If you think this is the case, see the oral surgeon now. Risk of infection is high and could be serious. Usually this is carefully checked when extracting upper back teeth. Better to be safe.
