A sinus infection doesn't ALWAYS cause tooth pain -- but, it can. It depends upon location and severity.
Sinuses are spaces in your face that are normally filled with just air (and lined with mucous) you have them behind the bridge of your nose, above your eyebrows, above the bridge of your nose, and below your eyes.
If any one of the sinuses isn't draining properly, it can get infected . . . which, depending upon the location, can alter the symptoms. If you have an infection in the sinuses directly below the eyes, you could reasonably have tooth pain -- although, if it were in the sinuses above the eyes, tooth pain wouldn't make much sense.

Yes absolutely. If you have a history of sinusitis, it can cause pain or sensitivity in the molars in that region (either one side or both). Use your finertip to tap the teeth in the area, does one tooth feel different? If one is distinctly different to the others, it is probably not sinusitis but a problem with the tooth. Also, feel for the bone inside your cheek directly below your eye socket and press firmly up on this, if it hurts, that is a sign of sinusitis. Do the same on the bony part of your nose between your eyes. Lean forward so that your head is down towards the floor as far as you can go, if the pain gets worse it is sinusitis. Same if you jog upon the spot. If the pain is from biting something hard like a seed on that particular tooth then it has nothing to do with sinusitis, but is due to your cracked tooth. Good luck!!

usually when you have sinus trouble flair up, the teeth on that side hurt or should I say HURT!!! If your lower teeth hurt it isnt related to sinus. If only one tooth hurts it is more likely the tooth that is the problem but if you can't pinpoint the trouble to 1 tooth sinus could be the trouble. Decongestant and maybe even an antibiotic will be necessary.

yes. when your sinus cavity fills with fluid your roots (teeth) puts pressure or penetrates it making you feel as though you have a tooth ache
