Hi JaySmitty,
Yes, teeth can infect the sinuses. It can be difficult to eradicate the infection from the sinus... sometimes surgery is necessary to physically remove the infected sinus tissue.
You said....<<He said the tooth in front of the tooth extracted was in the same position as the other one but it don't hurt like the other one did.>>>>
Does this mean that this other tooth is also infected???? If so, then irrelevant of whether it hurts you or not, it could still be a source of your sinus infection just as the extracted tooth was. Many times a tooth will not hurt because the infection is draining into the sinus. So long as the infected teeth are present, the sinus will remain infected.

They are upper teeth. I had an xray on the remaining teeth and they are not showing as abscess. I honestly do not know what's causing all this sinus drainage but it's has went on for 3 months. What is the best solution to do? Should i ask the doctor about antibiotics or what.
