Add a decongestant like Sudafed to your meds.

Sounds like you may have some bone loss/ degeneration. I may well be wrong, but I don't believe the roots should extend into the sinus cavity.

In fact, the roots had fused to the bone; he says this frequently happens with teeth that have had a root canal. No bone loss. eta He and other dentists have mentioned that my sinuses DO exist unusually close to the teeth roots. |

Quoted:
I just had a molar pulled: last one on the left upper side (#16?). Now I'm getting air into my mouth, from my sinuses! Talked to the doc and he said come in Wednesday if it's still bothering me. I'm still on antibiotics and a nice dose of oxycodone. Anyone else experience this? So you're getting air through the hole they accidentally created upon pulling your molar? So there's a hole from the socket up into your sinuses? I would be finding a different oral surgeon stat. |

Well it will make flushing the sinuses a hell of a lot easier.

A sinus exposure is a fairly common complication of a tooth extraction of the upper molars. Don't know your nose hard or hold in any sneezes. Your surgeon will probably just suture the area up and prescribe some meds. Nothing to really worry about.

You are not going to find any dentist who never had a sinus exposure occur if they do lots of extractions day in and out. It's a risk and happens in many cases despite even the most skilled efforts to avoid it. If it is small enough it can heal on its own with proper home care. If it's very large surgical means may be needed for it to close. If the membrane is not perforated it is a much better situation but it can still heal just fine if it has been. The fact that air is coming though indicates the sinus membrane was in fact perforated. |

Well, it's healed on its own, I'm not gurgling in either direction now. But it was a pretty strange sensation, to be able to draw air in through my jaw!
I'm seeing him this AM for a checkup. |
