A member asked:
Got a dental opg xray done.there is a blur on the left side of the xray but not on right which apparently indicates sinus issues?what does this mean?

Ask the Dentist: Ask the Dentist that ordered the x-ray. Sometimes if a sinus is infected or filled with fluid (mucous) it can appear cloudy on an x-ray. Your Dentist may want you to see your PCP or an ENT, but start by asking your Dentist to explain exactly what he/she is seeing.
