![]() Where Does This Pressure Come From?This pressure is a result of the body's immune response system. Think about it - the body makes mucus to get rid of the pollen and other allergens; the mucus is thick and does not flow out creating congestion and pressure, which leads to pain within the sinus cavities. The most commonly affected cavities are the maxillary sinuses located just above the upper molars and premolars. As sinus pressure increases, it can cause pressure on the roots of the upper teeth, causing toothache symptoms.If you experience these symptoms during allergy season or any time of the year, it is important not to try self-diagnosis, but to visit our office. After an examination, Dr. Grasvik can diagnose the real issue - infected tooth or tooth pain due to allergies and guide you to the appropriate treatment. If your pain is due to sinus pressure, we will likely recommend over-the-counter remedies, including a decongestant, antihistamine and a topical nasal spray to relieve your discomfort. |
