David,
Okay, glad to know that you have private dental care. The fact that you had an adjacent tooth removed just a couple of months ago makes me curious if there is an infection brewing and perhaps both areas are involved. Can't this dentist give you the name of an oral surgeon in private practice? Not as a formal referral but as an offering to a patient seeking further evaluation? The panoramic xray is a 2 dimensional xray that shows the upper and lower arches in their entirety, the maxillary sinus cavity, anterior nasal passages, etc. But only in 2 dimensions. The dental CT scan is a 3 dimensional scan which shows a comprehensive view of the dental and sinus anatomy is slices or cuts, meaning more angles. Antibiotics may or may not be warranted. I think they should only be given if absolutely necessary. It's best to get a proper diagnosis first and then see what the options are from there. Bryanna Quote:
