This is a very hard question to answer.
I had pain above my 6 upper front teeth. The dentist asked me if I had had or still had a sinus infection. I told him not to my knowledge. He xrayed the teeth and said there was no problem with them. He said I did have much bone loss above the teeth and food particles getting up there could be causing infection. As time went on I did develop sinus infections and was treated several times by my regular physician. As they kept returning and as the pain was still hurting those teeth, I went back to my dentist and asked him:Is the sinus infection causing the pain in the teeth or is the dental problem causing the sinus infections. He said he could not say definitely, but felt it was probably the dental problems causing the sinus infections. I finally had my teth removed and an upper denture plate. It is hard to find out, even with xrays. Maybe an Ear, nose and throat specialist might be able to decide. Myself, I was just fed up with it all, and knew my upper teeth days were numbered. Good Luck
