Dental Causes An often overlooked cause of chronic sinus inflammation is
dental decay. Any issues with the maxillary teeth, the teeth that line the upper mouth, can lead to sinus pain. The reason for this is the close proximity of the upper teeth to the maxillary sinus, the sinus cavity located directly above the upper mouth. An abscessed tooth infection can easily travel into the maxillary sinus, leading to a chronic sinus infection. Regular dental visits can prevent tooth decay and x-ray examination of sinuses and teeth can reveal dental causes for sinus pain.
Structural Blockages
When the size of the sinus cavity is obstructed or restricted this can be a contributing factor to frequent sinus infections. The most common structural sinus restriction occurs when the septum, the bone/cartilage divide between the two nasal passages, becomes deviated to one side, thereby decreasing normal sinus drainage. This can create stasis of nasal drainage, leading to a breeding ground for infection. A deviated septum can be seen on CAT scan and can be surgically repaired which can thereby alleviate symptoms of chronic sinusitis. Treatment for chronic sinusitis depends on the root cause.
While over the counter products like decongestants can provide temporary band-aid relief, they may not bring about permanent resolution of symptoms. Consider investigating the many reasons for chronic sinus inflammation to bring about lasting relief from the life altering symptoms of chronic sinusitis.
