frostyjohn,

I think you went to a blind oral surgeon. Seriously......!

Perhaps the sinus infection is draining down your throat and when you pinch your nose closed then the build up from the applied pressure brings the crap up from your throat. But why it lands in the extraction site and comes out the invisible hole is beyond me!!

If the polyp is correlated to the infection that was coming from that tooth then perhaps the polyp is actually where the communication is...??? Still does not explain the stuff coming out of the invisible hole though.

By any chance has any of these dentists taken a periapical xray of that area? Sometimes a communication will show on that type of xray... even really tiny ones.

I can close my nose, put pressure and SEE it bubble out of my gum. But the oral surgeon today said that for the amount of fluid i say that is coming out, there has to be a larger hole.

We both agree though that there is a polyp and i have a sinus infection. The polyp needs to be taken care of.

I'm seeing an ent wednesday. Hopefully the ent gives som
