Absess tooth/sinus infections?

Question

This started back in sept06 when I went to the dentist to have a bridge done the dentist found that I had absess in my tooth that had spread to my sinuses. since then I have had chronic sinus infections.I went to the ENT doctor and he has set me up with a CT scan of my sinuses! my question is has anyone ever gone thru this and if so how did it work out for you!! I need the pros and cons of thei situation!!thanks

Answer 1

I didn't have quite this situation, but I am a chronic sinus sufferer and I have had sinus and nose surgery. I had a deviated septum, a bone spur, and concha bullosa (basically an air pocket in the bones where there shouldn't be).

I was having a migraine every day...it was awful. Don't worry for a second about the surgery, just do research on your surgeon to make sure you are comfortable with the abilities of him/her.

I have never regretted having that surgery. I was scared senseless going in, but I felt SO much better after that surgery, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

The roughest part for me was all the flushing out of my nose with the saline water that I had to do for some time after the surgery. I really hated that, but that didn't hurt...it was just an annoyance. Follow your aftercare instructions to the letter and you should do just fine.

Good luck and I hope it will make you feel better too!

Answer 2

The abcess likely left scar tissue in your sinus cavity,thus the chronic infections. I had sinus surgery to remove scar tissue and repair of a deviated septum,to relieve me of chronic infection,headaches,pain etc. It fixed me up by 90% Can't remember the last time I had a headache or a sinus infection. Pretty gross stuff comes out after surgery.............but what a relief!

Answer 3

Ayurveda has wonderful medicines to completely cure the sinus and tooth problems without any side effects.
