Dental Sinusitis Treatment and Sinus Perforation Management

Dental sinusitis and sinus perforation are serious dental conditions. They often result from infections or complications after dental extractions. Dental sinusitis begins when bacteria from an infected tooth spread to the maxillary sinus. This usually happens in the upper jaw, especially with decayed teeth or failed root canal treatments.

At Gloss & Floss Dental Care®, we see many patients with one-sided facial pressure, nasal discharge, and pain in the upper back teeth. These are signs that the problem might come from the mouth, not the sinuses alone. That’s why early dental evaluation is important.

Comprehensive Care for Dental Sinusitis and Sinus Perforation

Sinus perforation occurs when a dentist removes an upper molar and opens a passage to the sinus cavity. This creates an unnatural link between the mouth and the sinus. Without proper treatment, it can lead to repeated infections or the development of a fistula.

Our team at Gloss & Floss handles both small and large sinus perforations. We often close smaller openings with tight sutures. Larger perforations, especially over 5–7 mm, may require a Rehrmann flap. In this method, we shift the gum tissue to seal the sinus opening and promote healing.

We always focus on clear diagnosis and tailored treatment. Our methods aim to stop infections and restore your comfort quickly. Gloss & Floss Dental Care® offers expert care for both dental sinusitis and sinus perforation. You can rely on our experience and modern techniques.
