Prayerworks,

The surgery to close a sinus opening from the oral cavity depends on the individual case. There are different surgeries that are done based on the patient and the circumstances.

It is usually done by an oral surgeon in his dental office under local or light IV sedation. So if someone does comment on their experience with this please know that it may be very different than your own situation.

May I ask you one more question? If it is deemed necessary that the communication be surgically corrected, is it usually a difficult or painful procedure? Is it like surgically removing a tooth? Hospital or in office?

Again, thank you!

If anyone else on here has had a sinus communication I would love to hear your experience. Many thanks!
