About a month ago my dentist drilled through my upper jaw bone while putting in an implant and perforated my sinus. It feels like a knife in my face and I was wondering if there is a way to reduce the pain without pills. My kidneys are now aching from over the counter meds and I really don't want to take any narcotics. The gums were stitched up and nothing was implanted on top, but he did put something on the bottom jaw which has now totally healed over. I am not experiencing any pain in my mouth.

Any feedback would by appreciated...is this a common problem? Should I continue my treatment with the same dentist or find a new one?
