I got a root canal on my upper pre-molar #4 2 months ago. A couple weeks later I became light headed and got dizzy waves. This stuff has continued since then. The tooth is not sensitive to hot or cold, and not sensitive to bite. I have been back to the endodontist that did it three times, and went to another endodontist for another opinion. x-rays were taken everytime and all looked perfect. The last set of xrays was taken 2 days ago and again were perfect. My question is could my sinus issues be related to this root canal?

theres a chance that the sinus is allocated near the apex ( tip ) of the root on that tooth, and u have a sinus problem so it feels like it is related to the tooth, there is a small chance that when the dentist was cleaning the tooth ready for root canal that he rinsed some hypochloride out through the apex and that i has got into the sinus, but that very small and u would of hurt almost immediately, i would go see the doctor, maybe u have the start of sinusitis

very possible! i had a root canal yrs ago and had problems with my sinuses for months. i don't know if it was actually due to the root canal or the novicane injections but it did clear on its own. by the way, i'll never do it again, i lost the tooth anyway.

You might have an inner ear problem instead of something related to the root canal. Check with your doctor.

"....light headed and dizzy waves" - could be totally unrelated to the root canal procedure. Have you been eating properly? Have you been drinking enough fluids as well?

Normally your sinuses can cause tooth pain, not sure if it can the other way around. I would go see your family doctor to see what else it may be. The two may not even be related.
