Hello and hope you are doing well.
Understand your predicament.
But it’s unlikely that the cyst can cause compressive symptoms on the teeth. Maxillary sinusitis can cause referred pain to the teeth and vice versa. If it is a chronic sinus infection, 4-6 weeks of antibiotics are pretty standard in addition to nasal steroid sprays, oral steroids, and salt water irrigations of the sinuses. If this fails to solve the problem, sinus surgery is usually recommended.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Update** A different dentist and endodontist diagnosed both me with cracked tooth syndrome. The crack is in one of the right upper molars. A dome x-ray done at the endodontists office shows that the cyst in my sinus is DIRECTLY above the cracked tooth. The endodontist believes my body created the cyst in response to the cracked tooth. He explained the cyst is like a callus my body formed to contain anything bad that was pushing or leaking up from the cracked tooth. He recommends a root canal and crown.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Good to see the root cause for your symptoms was detected. Infected tooth roots from the upper teeth can go inside the maxillary sinus and cause sinusitis. As you have an infected tooth, you will still need to have this addressed as dental infections can be potentially life-threatening. Good luck.
I am scheduled for a root canal in a few days to repair the cracked tooth. After that, a crown will be put on to protect the tooth. Thank you again for all of your input.
I HAVING BEEN HAVING SINUS PROBLEMS ALL MY LIFE BUT FOR THE LAST TWO PLUS YEAR MY PNA HAS TREATED WITH LITTLE OR NO RESELTS.
LAST WEEK SHE TOOK A SINUS XRAY AND FOUND A MAXILLARY SINUS CYST. NEXT WEEK I AM SEEING A NOSE DOCTOR TO HAVE IT REMOVED.
THE PAIN AND HEAD ACHES HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. I WENT 4 MONTHS AGO TO MY DENIST AND TOLD HIM MY TEETH ARE ALWAYS HURTING - HE KEPT SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.
IT IS VERY HARD TO GET MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL TO LISTIN WHEN YOU TELL HOW YOUR BODY FEELS.
I have a cyst that's to be removed above where had teeth and am very curious how you folks made out with your pursuits. Thanjx
I have been having the same dental pain issues with related chronic sinus infections. Antibiotics help with both for a few weeks before recurring again. I also have a cyst present as shown in a ct scan. Dentists and dental specialists can't find a problem. I really wish something can be done to stop the dental pain as it can get unbearable at times.

This post is like if I wrote it. I am having the exact same issue. Cyst, infection, ear pain, headache, tooth pain etc.... 8 doctors later oral surgeon suspects a cracked tooth. I am getting 2 root canals and if it is cracked I will have to extract it. This all started with a root canal.
Finally found other people who have similar symptoms to mine. I have been dealing with pain and pressure for a year. Feels like air pressure that gets caught in my gums. At times feels like the a pin stab. My dentist has replaced a the same #14 molar crown 4 times, did crown lengthening with gum surgery and filled tooth behind to try to take up 'space'. Finally got diagnosed with root extended into since with possible infection. Goin for CAT scan this week. Hope to get real answer. Also have felt like dentists haven't understood.
This is me, you wrote what I have been in agony over for 7 months, 10 dentists, endo's, perio's, physician, 3 ENT's..........scan revealed maxillary sinus cyst just over the teeth that hurt so bad, I mean I avoided doing major work in desperation to remedy this pain, it shut my life down, so I just had the sinus surgery, i am 4 days post operation, the pain is pretty bad in that upper molar but the ENT said he had to scrape the botton of the sinus to get all the residue, he said it was more difficult cause it was so low down, there are only 2 ways to surgically remove these beasts, and thru the mouth was not an option for me nor my ENT, as its risky, I went thru the nose, I never had surgery before so I didn't know anything about that and being put to sleep, I don't have insurance so I did patient out of pocket, There are discounts for that, verbalize that, for me, It didn't seem like an option, I had been on 4 antibiotics in 6 months, I was feeling better the week before surgery but I dreaded that pain ever returning again, I didn't realize surgery would wake up the pain again, or maybe I didn't want to think about that, I believe in the days to come it will get better, that cyst is gone, I actually look forward to a new scan just to not see it there again. I had nasal/sinus endoscopy, surgical with maxillary antrostomy. It was the only way the ENT says to make room to get it out...I hope this helps someone, I researched so much before I did this, the funds were raised and I did it, I wish I didn't have too but I trust this has got to be the beginning to better days ahead, surgery sucks on any level, but you will get thru it....best regards!!
