Woodfly,
If your general dentist has done the 18-20 single xrays and has not informed you of the infections present, then it would be a good idea to see a different dentist.
Conventional dentists are taught to retain (not cure) teeth, even sick teeth. So that is what she knows. Rarely does a conventional dentist connect oral health with systemic health because they have not been taught to do that. But as you are questioning.... perhaps your systemic sinus and health problems are in fact correlated with your teeth.
It would be wise to get ALL of your xrays and consult with an oral surgeon.
The UR is pretty urgent and the lower left is a close second.
