Question by Luna’s Mom: Can a sinus infection cause pain on a tooth that has a root canal?
I have a root canal on one of my molars (Got it about 8 years ago). It hurts sometimes, especially if I eat hard things or meat. It is hurting now while I have a sinus infection. Should I see a dentist? It has been 3 days of tooth pain.
Best answer:
Answer by grandpa walleye The pain may indeed be coming from a sinus problem if the tooth is an upper back tooth. It may also be due to the root canal failing or if the tooth is fractured. You should see the dentist and let him do some testing and take an x-ray to see if he can determine the problem. Good luck.

10 yr. old daughter was a straight A student, but her grades have been slipping in the last couple of weeks. Nothing new going on at home or at school. She says she just forgets to bring an assignment home or to complete it according to the directions she’s been given. Very unlike her. The only thing going on in the last couple of weeks has been illness — first, a high fever and sore throat and now, a sinus infection, which she is being treated for. I don’t know what else could be causing this.
She is a very serious student and takes immense pride in her honor roll status. Her teachers have always commented on her intensity as a student and how she always goes the extra mile, on her own, with an assignment or project. In fact, some of her teachers have said she should relax more and not be so hung up on her grades. Neither my DH or I have ever pushed her for grades … never had to. She’s always had very high expectations for herself academically. These last two weeks are definitely uncharacteristic of her.
Ok, iv been to the doctor a million times… and still no answers… iv been gettin headaches every single day.. and i have this horrible pressure feeling in my head and ears… Like a fullness… I have no other sypmtoms, no runny nose, or sneezing or stuffyness or anything so i really dont think its sinus related.. im having an mri of my brain in the morning… some people say stress but i dont know about that, im on zoloft 50mg, but the doc recently uped me to 100mg to see if it helps with the headaches. that was 5 days ago and still no change.. Does anyone know anything about this, or know anyone who has been through this.. what could it be, im going to lose my mind if i dont get some relief soon!!!
Just this past week ive gotten a really bad cold. Well in the past 4 days or so {this is really gross sorry} when i blow my nose i see tiny specks of blood in my snot and my ears are plugged up pretty bad. When i took a shower lastnight and was cleaning my ears i found ALOT of blood in my ear wax. Can anyone tell me if this is caused by a sinus infection or is it just a really bad cold??
I am on antibiotics for sinus infection but have these places on the back of my head that are sore and tender when you touch them. Also my head is “buzzing”. I have pain back of my ears also. Is this all from the sphenoid sinus? Has anyone had this and what did you do? Thanks
