Depends: Hard to answer your question without more information... The question should be, did it cause any problems.. You should be able to tell when the anesthetic wears off. The oral surgeon should have told you what to do or to look out for. If there are any problems see the oral surgeon for appropriate care or referral.

Rarely a problem: Sometimes a perforation is a result of the tooth ankylose to the bone flooring the sinus and thus upon removal, the communication or a hole is established between the oral and the nasal cavity. If the perforation is small (less than 2-3 mm) pressure on gauze and Claritin can be prescribed. If sinusitis developed, Levaquin (levofloxacin) can be prescribed. There should be no complication. Follow up recommend.
