10 Sinus Infection Symptoms
Symptom #9: Toothache
Tooth pain is another symptom of sinus infections, even though this is not a real tooth pain. A toothache results from the increased pressure inside the head because of the sinus inflammation, which will give the impression of a very bad toothache.
Usually, this kind of pain affects both sides of the face. If you touch your tooth it will not lead to an intense pain as it would in cases when there is a real problem with the tooth. The pain which spreads from the sinus cavities because of a sinus infection to the dental area is known as referred pain.
