wisdom tooth and sinus
 

hello,

i've had my 4 wisdom teeth out a week ago. before the operation the doctor told me that i had a large cyst in my sinus, after the operation he said that the cyst wast removed. every time i breath, i can feel my gum/cheek in my upper left jaw move up and down like a drum skin. also i constantly have nose bleeds and my cheek bone is really sore. my upper left stitches are bleeding too. am i in trouble? i am really scared about it,

thanks for helping.

Hi jk,

I suggest you go back to the oral surgeon who extracted your teeth and let him look at it. You may have an open sinus that may need to be mended.

Mending the sinus in it's early stage of perforation is usually not a big deal. However, not mending it could become a chronic, long term condition that is very difficult to repair resulting in repeated sinus infections, etc.

It really is wise not to wait and see him asap to let him diagnose and possibly treat the problem.

Please let us know how you're doing!
