I went to the dentist 10 days ago and had an upper left molar pulled. The dentist said that the root was very close to the left sinus next to the nose. Sure enough the tip of the root broke off and went thru the skin into the sinus. I had to take a 500mg antibiotic for 10 days x3 and gargle with salty water after every meal and between meals for 10 days. I couldn't blow my nose for 3 weeks. He advised that the piece of tooth root would eventually work it's way out a nostril or my mouth or I would swallow it and pass it. The main thing was to keep the hole to the sinus very clean, which I did.
Has anyone heard of this and should I have been referred to an oral surgeon? Thanks, Tommyd ![]()
