Brief ans: MAXILLARY SINUSITIS

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain it is very true that maxillary sinusitis (maxillary sinus is a pair of sinus located one on each side of nose) can lead to soreness, pressure,sensitivity and pain in all the teeth of the affected side..

The treatment of dental symptoms in this case is based on treatment of sinusitis..

Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinus linings and it can be either due to infection (bacterial or viral) or can be due to allergies.

Symptoms of sinusitis can be like symptoms of cold and flu, nasal congestion,post nasal drip, pressure and pain on face and pain and pressure in teeth in case of maxillary sinusitis..

Treatment is based on the cause of sinusitis.

In case of infection antibiotics, painkillers and decongestants( oral as well as nasal spray) can help you in relieving sinus as well as dental problems..

In case of allergies eliminating the cause of allergies as well as antihistamines and decongestants are relieving..

I would suggest you to consult an ENT expert so that proper clinical evaluation as well as medication can be advised..

Wishing you sooner recovery..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
