Pressure -- Bryanna
Hi Bryanna,
I am just driving myself crazy with this wisdom tooth extraction site issue. I STILL have an odd sensation at the site AND that sinus is most of the time feeling pressure. I have been to THREE ENTs and one said no sinus infection by looking up my nose with the scope. One said he thought Eustation Tube Dysfuntion from a cold I had 4 months ago, before extraction, and the third said he thinks all looks good but I am still healing from the extraction and that third molar removal can sometimes take a long time to fully heal. He said a lot of nerves around that area and to be patient. None have taken a CT. I have been to three different dentists and none think anything seems too off either and the site looks like it is healing really nicely. Two took dental x-rays of the site and said no infection. So....why do I have this pressure and sensation behind that left eye and along my nose most of the time? Could this be a perforated sinus? I go to see a new MD tomorrow, should I ask for a dental CT or some sort of scan? I just hate that I am still feeling pressure or something on the left side. I am not sure if is my ear or tmj or sinus or what! I do have the mouthguard and I really dont see any improvement. Could 3 ENTs, 3 dentists and 2 MDs be missing a sinus perf from the extractiion? I do not have a fever or elevated WBC. Is there a test I can do at home....to see if there is a perf?
Any advice??? This is driving me bonkers!!!
