Chronic Sinusitis and its effect on Teeth
posted on Jun 13, 2016 11:26AM
Sinusitis that occurs due to immune system reaction to fungi causes oh-so many irritations...the cheek bones hurt, mainly due to inflammation and clogging of the sinus glands, the eye brows hurt as the sinuses behind the eye brows swell..breathing might be difficult for some, blowing the nose could be impossible for few, but strangely for the first time in six years of my stay in USA, i started feeling all symtoms of a Pollen allergy a month ago, and then has Throat irritation followed by a high fever, and after a gap of two days, it recurrence of allergy that triggered a serious sinus issue..i had never experienced a sinus infection and ddnt know what to expect..it took me just few hours to know that my sinuses are hurting...but why were my gums hurting too ?
I was so worried about my teeth health..then i suspect it could be the sinus problem that is causing my gums to hurt...when i research, it is proved that a poor sinus health can cause so much chaos in the jaw region creating sore pain and pressure on the gums..and to my question 'is there a treatment ?'...I found answers routing me to home remedies. Seriously, who could even imagine that Sinusitis causes Gum pain. What happens in there ?!
The upper teeth in our body are placed so close to the maxillary sinuses in the cheek region and even a slight sinus inflammation can be felt in the teeth and gums...the pain varies from person to person. The mucus fills in the pockets above the teeth and creates pressure, which seems like gum pain...ask me and i will tell you, it is not something you ask for !
The only relief options could be home remedies...rubbing Clove oil against the hurting gums, applying pressed ginger juice or garlic juice may offer an pain-reducing effect, however, the initial few minutes of applying these strong agents might be hard to handle. Take the case to your Doctor, he might combine an Aneasthetic with a Anti-histamine drug but pray that you dont get targeted by Sinusitis due to Cold or due to Climatic allergies every year ! Been there, done that !!
