I've just joined this forum, but not sure if it is still 'live'. I really hope so!

Bryanna - your posts have been so informative, and I've spent the last couple of hours reading all the old messages. I feel much more confident with my visit to the dentist this afternoon.

I have had an ongoing 'niggle' with a cracked tooth for 8 years. I have had it refilled twice, and several months ago an overlay was added, but still I have the minor discomfort and reaction to cold liquids. I notice it more when lying down but that could be because I'm not distracted!

I have just had a consultation with ENT because of ongoing sinus issues. I'm referred for an MRI next, as he couldn't find any evidence of sinusitis, but I can feel the throbbing in my upper molar radiating up into my face. I have had repeated sinus infections. I also have post nasal drip.

I now wish to have the tooth extracted, but would it be best to have a cone beam CT scan to check the root/sinus area first? Or will the MRI reveal enough information about the tooth as well as the sinuses?

Fingers crossed you are still around.
Thanks again
Lynney
