Can A Sinus Infection Cause This Dental Pain?

Just trying to resolve an unresolved health issue here. I have been to the DDS 3 times, been to the Doc 2 times. Thus far, DDS said if it's a tooth problem, she will need to redo the recent RC we did in Dec. Doc said it could be a virus my body is trying to fight off (went to doc on Tues with temp 99.1). When doc looks in my nose, she said I have some allergies. Here's what I want to know... can a sinus infection cause pain in my left jaw that radiates down to the bottom area and effects other teeth as well? Is that possible? And if it is, is there a specific antibiotic for that? Considering i've had 3 rounds of Amox so far that work when I use it and then these symptoms return after a month... maybe it's sinus infection only on the left side? I do feel some pressure up there. Any advice?

Can A Sinus Infection Cause This Dental Pain?
Sure, a sinus infection can certainly cause the teeth to hurt all over the top of the mouth, and in the jawline. In the ER we call it "long teeth syndrome", because thats a common description of the feeling. People say their front teeth hurt and feel like they grew. It has to do with how the teeth and face are wired together, and there are a lot of wires in that small area, believe me. If you have a chronic, low grade sinus infection, one that will cause pressure on the sinus in the cheek below the eye- you could certainly experience refered pain in the left jaw and molars, yes. There isn't a specific antibiotic, no- it's a matter of controlling the infection, by drying up the sinuses or getting them to drain. If you have an allergy, then treating that would help. Since this has become a chronic problem, it may take several months of treating the sinus trouble to get it to permanently go away and relieve the tooth problem. Although, drying the sinuses should offer dental relief within a week or so- to allow full healing, treatment would have to continue a while longer. You need to find out what is triggering the sinus trouble first. That may be something like mold or mildew in your home, a dirty filter in the heating/ac system, carpets, and the like. Clean those out well, use an antiallergen spray in the house like crazy, and treat the sinus in the meantime. My sympathies- I had sinus troubles due to mold in our old home, that also caused chronic tooth pain. Once we moved (couldn't erradicate all the mold- landlord was NO help), the sinus trouble went away and so did the tooth pain. Good luck.
