This pain can make it difficult to work, spend time with loved ones, and sleep through the night. Though you may initially think the pain is caused by a toothache, how can you know for sure that it isn\u2019t a sinus issue? Read on to learn about some common symptoms of each as well as when it\u2019s time to visit your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springhousedentist.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Sinusitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sinusitis, also called a sinus infection, is inflammation of the sinus tissues. It\u2019s usually caused by the common cold, but bacteria, fungi, viruses, and allergies can also cause sinusitis. The inflamed tissues put pressure on your upper teeth, resulting in discomfort that mimics a toothache. There are some common symptoms of a sinus infection that you should look out for, which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Stuffy or runny nose with thick yellow or green mucus<\/li><li>Tenderness, pressure, or pain in your face or eyes<\/li><li>Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth<\/li><li>Ear pain, pressure, or fullness<\/li><li>Postnasal drip<\/li><li>Runny nose<\/li><li>Headache<\/li><li>Fatigue<\/li><li>Cough<\/li><li>Fever<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Toothaches?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Toothaches refer to pain in or around a tooth. They are often a sign that something is wrong with the tooth or the surrounding gum tissue. But, in some cases, the pain is the result of a problem somewhere else in the body. There are many common causes of toothaches, such as tooth decay, gum disease, tooth infections, and injuries. Some common signs that you have one include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Increased tooth sensitivity in response to hot or cold foods and beverages<\/li><li>Throbbing pain or inflammation in or around your gums or tooth<\/li><li>Sharp pain when you bite down or touch your tooth<\/li><li>Tenderness and pain in or around the tooth<\/li><li>Fever<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to See a Dentist for Tooth Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth pain isn\u2019t always serious, but it can become severe. Be sure to visit your dentist if a minor ache worsens or persists for longer than a few days. Your dentist will fit you in for an emergency appointment as soon as possible. Once they get to the bottom of the issue, they\u2019ll give you the care you need to get rid of the discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NeoSmile Dental Care takes pride in giving their Spring House patients the quality care they need to keep their beams strong and bright.
