Your upper teeth hurt, but your dentist says nothing looks wrong. Sound familiar?
When the weather turns cold, dry indoor heat and seasonal colds irritate your nose and trap pressure in your sinuses. The roots of your upper back teeth sit right next to those sinuses, so that pressure can feel just like a toothache.
It may be your sinuses if:
- Several upper teeth ache at once
- It gets worse when you bend over
- You're also stuffy or feel pressure in your face
- No single tooth is sensitive to hot or cold
Dr. Linty looks at your teeth, bite, and airway together. Our in-office 3D scan (CBCT) can show your teeth, bone, and sinuses in one picture, so you know what's really causing the pain.
