Question:
I have both of my upper Wisdom teeth and am 45. A few years ago my dentist did a Panorex to check the status of my Wisdom teeth as they
had never shown up on any previous films. They appeared have grown into my sinus area and he refered me to an oral surgeon.
This Doctor looked at the films and told me it would cause too much damage to have them removed and said to live with them. I have since sent the info to several other doctors with the same results. I am having problems with very severe sinus infections that take months to clear. My regular doctor feels that the problem may be steming from the teeth and their position.
As I have no desire to live on antibotics it would seem that something should be done. Who do I go to? ENT? Another Oral Surgeon? Are there any brave souls out there willing to take this on and why are they so reluctant to preform this procedure? I currently have another sinus infection which they have been trying to treat for a couple of months now. ...Visitor from IL
Answer:
Thank you for your question. I would seek the services of another oral surgeon or perhaps seek help from an oral surgery residency program if you live near a dental school.
