Understanding Sinus Depression
Sinus depression, often related to dental health issues, can manifest as a feeling of pressure or discomfort in the sinus area above the upper teeth. This condition may be exacerbated by dental infections, extractions, or other procedures that affect the proximity of the dental roots to the sinus cavity. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we recognize the intricate relationship between dental health and sinus comfort. Our approach aims to treat underlying dental causes of sinus depression, alleviating discomfort and enhancing your quality of life.
Causes of Sinus Depression
- Dental Infections: Infections in the upper teeth can spread to the sinus cavity, causing inflammation and discomfort.
- Tooth Extractions: Extractions of upper teeth, especially molars, can sometimes lead to changes in the sinus cavity or create an oroantral fistula, a connection between the mouth and sinus.
- Root Canal Treatments: Procedures on upper teeth that inadvertently affect the sinus cavity.
- Bone Loss: Significant bone loss in the upper jaw can alter the relationship between the dental roots and the sinus cavity, potentially leading to sinus issues.
Our Sinus Depression Treatment Options
- Infection Control: Treating any underlying dental infections with antibiotics, root canal therapy, or other targeted treatments to reduce sinus pressure and discomfort.
- Sinus Lift Surgery: For patients experiencing sinus issues due to bone loss or following tooth extractions, a sinus lift can add bone to the upper jaw to improve the stability of dental implants and reduce sinus depression.
- Closure of Oroantral Fistula: If a communication has developed between the sinus cavity and the oral cavity, surgical closure can correct this issue, alleviating sinus symptoms and preventing further complications.
- Preventive Measures: Implementing strategies to prevent dental issues that could lead to sinus depression, including regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and patient education on oral hygiene practices.
