Question:
I have been having some minor discomfort in my front teeth, my nose and my cheeks. I was wondering if it's my sinuses, or should I go to my ENT to get it checked. I don't have a stuffy nose, but it does itch. I was itching it the other day, and all of a sudden it hurt really bad on the inside. I don't know if I did something to it or what. If anyone has any input please let me know.

Answer:
It could be your sinuses causing the tooth pain, or it could be a tooth problem causing the sinus pain. The roots of the teeth go right up near the sinuses, and an infection in the tooth can cause problems with the sinuses. But it's hard to say what's going on without being a doctor and having done the proper diagnostic tests. Just keep in mind that if you go to an ENT (a good ENT should catch it, but not all of them are good) who treats you for sinus problems and it doesn't get better, it might be the tooth instead. I know somebody who went for about four weeks in misery being treated for sinus problems, when it was actually his tooth.
