I am age 65 and suffered with sinus infections for many years. When I was in the Air Force a Dentist used me for trial and error and I think I came back with an error. Let me explain.

In 1968 while stationed at Ramey AFB Puerto Rico an Air Force Dentist did what I think back then was called a root canal. He made an incision right above number 6 tooth telling me that would fix my tooth problem. The next day after he did the cutting on the gum my right eye turned black. It went away and then the left eye turned black. I had a hard time explaining to all my friends what happened.

The tooth turned black years later and I had a crown installed. It also went bad and about five years ago another crown put in. I have had problems in that area since way back then with sinus infections.

About five years ago my local dentist sent me to a oral surgeon to get a second opinion on what showed on the ex-ray. He said it was scar tissue and to leave it along. He said it was from the surgery done years ago.

Last year a puss sack formed right above the tooth. This had happened several times over the years also.. My local doc always would put me on antibiotics and it would go away.

Well last week I woke up with the same tooth hurting. I thought it would go away but of course it did not. I went to the doctor yesterday and again more antibiotics. Today I noticed the small puss filled thing again and called the dentist. She drained it and said the antibiotics should take care of the problem.

I know it will come back and I never feel really great. I am in good health other than this. Would just removed the complete tooth fix the problem because at this point I am willing to do anything to stop this problem. I am retired and have not felt good dealing with sinus infections for the last several years.

Under my right eye was swollen and very tender to touch the last few days but I think now after the dentist drained the thing today it has gone down a lot and not as sore as it was.

I just want to get healthy and feel good again and not deal with sinus problems. I just about know the Air Force dentist cut into my sinus cavity. Why would my eyes turn black way back then if he did not? I remember going back to him and he said that was normal. I have never had anyone else tell me a dentist caused them to have two black eyes. If I could find him today he might have one also

Sorry for the long post but I hope I covered everything so someone here can share what might be going on. Thanks. Tom
