Doitashi,
On the xray that you posted of your son... the fillings in that xray do not appear to be deep. Did the dentist measure the pocket depths around this (and other) teeth? Did the dentist check the tooth with a frac finder for possible fracture?

Also comparing panoramic x-rays from 2008 and 2013, it does appear there has been bone loss on the mesial area of #14 over just the past few years. Not sure if a possible fracture could have been there before the restoration or caused by the filling or after. But like you indicated, there does seem to be something going on there.
Our dentist did not mention anything about the sinus during another recent filling done on this tooth.
