A member asked:
I had tooth pain, dentist took xrays and sinuses were very dark on xray. he said because of how dark they are, it's probably congestion? but wouldn't that appear as light? he said it could be air or congestion? i thought normal sinuses would be dark.

Tooth Pain: Sinusitis can often cause maxillary posterior tooth pain. It is sometimes difficult to determine if it is a sinus issue or a tooth problem. Do you have a specific question regarding your tooth pain?
