At the suggestion of my dentist, my doctor ordered a sinus CT which shows "the maxillary sinuses are hyperaerared (large) and the roots for a few of the maxillary molars appear to protrude through the floor of the sinus into the alveolar recess." There is no sign of sinusitis or active or old dental infection in that area. My nasal cavity does show inflammation and narrowing.
Of course my doctor was out this week and my dental anxiety along with the help of google can't decide if this means I'll need to have my molars pulled to get rid of the tooth pain that I've experienced for over 2 years or if my teeth are ok and my sinuses are easily treated.
Have any dentists seen this extension of the roots into the sinus along with unexplained tooth pain and pressure?
