Can sinusitis cause toothache?

Sinusitis is a relatively common nasal disease and also a disease that has a great impact on human health. Generally speaking, sinusitis will not cause toothache, so if a sinusitis patient has toothache symptoms, he or she should go to the oral department for a detailed examination to see if he or she has other diseases. Below, we will introduce the common causes of toothache in detail.

1. Dry socket

It occurs when bone wound infection is caused by oral bacteria after the removal of impacted wisdom teeth in the mandible. At present, it is generally believed that trauma, infection and large extraction socket are the main causes of the disease. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of dry socket, trauma should be minimized during tooth extraction, and the incision should be as small as possible after tooth extraction; antibiotics should be used before and after tooth extraction to prevent infection.

2. Tooth decay

Initial caries usually have no symptoms. When the caries cavity becomes larger and deeper, toothache may occur when eating. The pain will be aggravated by eating sweets or overcold or overheated food. At this time, you can first use acid-proof and analgesic toothpaste, brush your teeth with warm water, and use folk remedies to relieve pain when necessary, but the most effective treatment method should be to fill the cavities.

3. Apical periodontitis

It often spreads from pulpitis to the root canal orifice, causing inflammation of the tissues around the root apex. Symptoms include persistent toothache. The affected tooth has a sense of elongation, and is obviously painful to touch and tenderness, and cannot bite food. At this time, you can take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as 0.5 grams of vancomycin No. 4, 3 times a day; 0.4 grams of metronidazole, 3 times a day, 25 mg of indomethacin, 3 times a day; and eat soft food. You can also use folk remedies for emergency pain relief. Root canal treatment should be performed after the inflammation subsides.

4. Periodontal abscess

Further development of periodontal tissue inflammation can cause suppurative inflammation. When an abscess is formed, the pain is severe, and a feeling of fluctuation will appear locally after the abscess is formed. After a periodontal abscess forms, the pain can be significantly reduced or relieved.

5. Pulpitis

It is mostly due to pulp infection caused by deep caries without filling, or caused by chemical drugs or temperature stimulation. The pain is spontaneous, paroxysmal and severe, and may be caused by cold, hot stimulation and percussion pain. For emergency treatment of this type of toothache, you can take 300 mg of ibuprofen orally twice a day to relieve pain, or use folk remedies to relieve pain. The radical cure is to use a dental anvil to open the pulp cavity for endodontic treatment under local anesthesia.
