SINUS INFECTION AND TOOTH PAIN

People can experience sinus infection-related tooth pain when fluid builds up in the sinus cavities during infection, causing pressure in the upper teeth that are in close proximity to the maxillary sinus.

DID YOU KNOW?

Everyone’s teeth are arranged differently . Our teeth are as unique to every individual as our fingerprints .

DID YOU KNOW? (Children)

Your teeth are hard on the outside and soft on the inside.
The hard, white part that you can see is called ‘enamel.’ Your enamel means that you can chew food without hurting the soft part underneath.

Nobody else in the whole world has the same shapes of teeth as you — your smile is special.
