Impacted tooth in my sinuses??? - Sinus Problems Message Board

Hi all,
Well, i went to the dentist today, and also got results back of a CT scan of my sinuses. Basically, I have a deviated septum and a cyst in my left frontal sinus. Looking at the x-rays that were taken of my teeth today, my left canine is impacted exactly where that cyst was. So were thinking that it's actually my tooth in my sinuses. The lady who was cleaning my teeth before the dentist came to check me out said that she had never seen an impacted tooth up so high. Has anyone else had this problem, or something similiar? If so, what happened? And did you have any problems because of that tooth? Particularly sinus pain/migraines?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
Jessica

I had the same problem but mine was alot worse and I lost 12 teeth as a result of my sinus/tooth infections.My sinuses destroyed all the roots in those teeth and they could not be saved and I had good teeth.Keep on top of it and take care of it as soon as you can.Good Luck
