Seasonal Allergies
Believe it or not, sinus pressure and pain can actually cause dental pain. The roots of molar teeth sometimes extend up into the sinus cavity, making the person more susceptible to dental pain with sinus problems. This pain is most commonly felt in the posterior molar region and is usually intermittent but gets worse when sinus pressure and pain are worse. The pain can feel like a dull ache or very sharp depending on the persons level of sensitivity and the severity of the sinus inflammation. With all the medications on the market now, it’s best to talk with your primary care doctor to manage allergy symptoms. You can also do things like postpone outdoor recreation until the evening when the pollen count is less, shower in the evenings to wash off the pollen from your body, and use a nasal saline solution to wash away irritants from the nose.
