Swelling: Post Operative swelling is not unusual following any type of surgery. Sometimes it's a normal part of the healing process. Sometimes it signifies infection. Please return to your Dentist for reevaluation.

Probably a: coincidence ....the two (sinuses) and dental work are not really connected. You may be experiencing "referred pain" that is pain that feels like its coming from your sinuses but is from the upper gums. Hope this helps! Dr Z
