Maxillary Sinusitis of Endodontic Origin in Midtown Atlanta

Maxillary sinusitis of endodontic origin is a condition in which inflammation or infection of the maxillary sinus is caused by a problem with a tooth in the upper jaw. 

This type of sinusitis occurs when bacteria from a tooth infection, such as a pulp infection or a dental abscess, spreads to the maxillary sinus. 

Symptoms may include facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, and tooth pain, and treatment typically involves addressing the underlying dental infection with root canal treatment and treating the sinusitis with antibiotics or other medications.

Often, patients affected by maxillary sinusitis of endodontic origin report chronic sinusitis that does not resolve even after multiple visits and treatments by medical specialists such as ENT doctors. Full resolution typically occurs only after the underlying dental infection is addressed after root canal treatment.
