Dental Sinusitis Treatment in Stockholm \u2013 Sinus Perforation & Tooth-Related Sinus Pain<\/h1>\n\n
If you need dental sinusitis treatment in Stockholm<\/strong>, the cause may be an infected upper tooth, a failed root canal, gum infection around an upper molar, or a small opening between the mouth and the sinus after extraction. These conditions can create one-sided sinus pressure, toothache, bad taste, nasal symptoms, or fluid passing between the mouth and nose.<\/p>\n\n At Gloss & Floss Dental Care\u00ae in S\u00f6dermalm, we assess tooth-related sinus problems with a structured dental and oral-surgery approach. The aim is to identify the dental source, reduce infection risk, protect the maxillary sinus, and support predictable healing. When needed, we coordinate further assessment with medical or ENT care.<\/p>\n\n This page explains dental sinusitis<\/strong>, sinus perforation<\/strong>, oral-antral communication<\/strong>, treatment options, aftercare, and when to seek urgent dental help.<\/p>\n\n Reviewed by:<\/strong> Gloss & Floss Dental Care.

The roots of upper premolars and molars can sit very close to the sinus floor. This means that a dental infection may feel like sinus pressure, cheek pain, nasal blockage, or upper jaw discomfort.<\/p>\n\n Dental sinusitis is often one-sided. It may be linked to deep decay, an infected tooth nerve, a failed or leaking root canal, periodontal disease around upper teeth, or complications after dental surgery.<\/p>\n\n Because ordinary sinusitis and dental sinusitis can feel similar, a focused dental assessment is important. Treating only the sinus symptoms without addressing the dental source may lead to repeated symptoms.<\/p>\n\n A sinus perforation<\/strong> can occur when an upper premolar or molar is removed and a small communication forms between the mouth and the maxillary sinus. This is called an oral-antral communication<\/strong> or OAC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Small openings can sometimes close with protective measures and careful follow-up. Larger openings, infected openings, or openings that persist may require surgical closure to prevent an oroantral fistula<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n If you notice air, fluid, or pressure moving between your mouth and nose after an extraction, do not test the area by forcing air through the nose. Contact a dentist for assessment.<\/p>\n\n Symptoms may be dental, sinus-related, or both. The pattern of symptoms often gives important clues about the source.<\/p>\n\nQuick answer \u2013 dental sinusitis vs sinus perforation<\/h2>\n
