Absolutely: There are only 2 cells between the bottom of your maxillary sinuses and the top of your upper molar tooth roots. Yes, infected sinuses can cause the symptoms you reported. Please see an ENT for relief.

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.

A member asked:

Does a dentist know through a regular digital dental X-ray that a person needs a sinus lift or is there a more reliable image method?
