Sinusitis is a fairly frequent pathological process in women, especially in the winter season, which, among other things, can cause symptoms related to headaches. There is a scientifically proven relationship between sinusitis and toothaches, since toothaches can be a symptom of sinusitis caused by some kind of allergy or by bacteria. Although it is also possible that the sinusitis itself has been caused by an infection in the maxillary area.
Toothaches can cause headaches
Maxillary sinusitis, which, for practical purposes, is an infection causes pain in the teeth as well as sensitivity both in the cheekbones and in the area around the eyes. As a parallel and indirect effect, these discomforts can result in severe headaches that make it difficult for us to recover quickly. For the treatment of this disease, it is obvious that the best way is to go to a doctor who can prescribe drugs recommended for this type of case such as decongestants, antibiotics or antihistamines.
But not only suffering from sinusitis due to a maxillary infection is the only way in which headaches can be related to molar pain. Inflammation of the gums and infections caused by cavities tend to put excess stress on both the inner and outer muscles of the shoulders and neck. These muscular anomalies result in increased blood flow throughout the affected area, indirectly leading to headaches. In these cases, it is most appropriate to go to the dentist’s office to alleviate the ailment in the appropriate way.
Dental hypersensitivity, a process by which a painful reaction occurs in our body when teeth come into contact with any hot or cold substance, can also be a factor that triggers headaches. This is the case of other problems related to teeth such as a break or blow, periodonditis, a dental abscess, bruxism or various anomalies with fillings.
