Odontogenic Sinusitis

Approximately 40 percent of Odontogenic Sinusitis and the attendant pain, originates from a dental source.

A dental abscess occurs as a result of decayed dental pulp. The dental pulp having died in the root canal builds up pressure and seeks release. It finds an outletthrough an abscess that forms on the gum near the root of the infected tooth. The condition gives rise to acute pain and the infection can radiate to the sinuses.This condition is a fairly advanced stage of pulp decay and the only recourse might be a root canal procedure.

The fear of pain from a Root Canal treatment is largely undeserved. Root canal treatment overwhelmingly relieves more pain than it inflicts. Timely root canaltreatment is relatively painless, averts unnecessary pain of infection, and has a greater chance of success than if the infection is allowed to progress beyondthe initial stages.

Recurrent Maxillary Odontogenic Sinusitis caused by infected Upper Posterior teeth or an improperly done Root Canal Treatment should not be taken lightly and endodontictreatment should only be considered by a patient if the dentist has all the necessary qualifications – We have!!.
