Can impacted wisdom teeth canuse sinus problems?

I have both upper wisdom teeth impacted and can be felt at the mouth ceiling, often I feel irritation (itching feeling) inside the mouth behind top feeling, and frequently I have runny nose and irritation from nose to the mouth ceiling. Do the impacted teeth have any contribution to these problems?

Sometimes. They can cause lots of problems, or it could be something else going on w/ your sinus. Get the wisdom teeth taken care of anyway. They can cause other troubles.
Reply:There are many reason to have sinus problems and the first place to check it out is with a ear nose and throat doctor. You have to rule out any nasal problems and/or allergy problems first. You might have a polyp or growth in the sinus. Or there might be a deviation in your septum that causes nasal congestion. You might have season allergies that can cause a runny nose.


If after checking medical reasons for your sinus condition,you can also see your dentist and have a panoramic x-ray taken of your mouth. This type of film shows the position of your wisdom teeth. If they are very high up into the sinus, they might be a cause of sinus congestion, howeve, most oral surgeons will not extract wisdom teeth that are too high into the sinus cavity because of possible complications. So, before you do anything, go the medical route and check for any problems in and around your sinuses.
