I came here to see if anyone has a lot of
sinus issues with their TMJ. I get to the
point to where it seems like someone is
squeezing the bridge of my nose and I just
cannot breathe through my nose. As you can
guess this is very scary and uncomfortable
and I was wondering if anyone else has
experienced this and can give me any help.
Any kind of feedback would be greatly
appreciated.

when i get sick i get a lot of pressure
in my nose. I have metal up in there too
which doesnt help--i get nose pressure on
occasion just from that.

Jaw clicking, headaches, sinus problems
and even loss of hearing can result of
TMJ.
What you were told caused your TMJ?

My sinuses are brutalized from TMJ. I live
with the equivilent of a constant
post-nasal drip or nasal infection because
of the swelling it causes on my sinuses. I
wake up every morning choking.

have you gone to see an ent to see if you
can get something to control the post
nasal drip? you should probably start
taking some kind of anti-inflamitory.

I thought it was only me but I go through
that too. When I'm lying down to sleep I
have to breathe through my mouth. It feels
like congestion without actual congestion.
I havnt gone to see a tmj specialist yet
but maybe he can explain the treatment
options

Dental disorders and TMJ can mimic
sinusitis.

Trigger points in the jaw muscles (tiny
contraction knots in overworked or
traumatized muscles) have been shown to
cause pain and a sense of pressure in the
front of the face, under the eyes, and
over the eyebrows, symptoms that are often
mistaken for sinusitis.
When sinus medicine doesn’t help sinus
pain, it’s a good bet that trigger
points are the problem.
There are clinical studies that have
showed that the trigger points in the
muscles of the face, jaws, and front of
the neck can cause the generation of
excess mucus in the sinuses, nasal
cavities, and throat.
This can be the simple explanation for
continuing sinus drainage, constant
clearing of throat, chronic cough,
allergic rhinitis (runny nose), and
persistent hay fever or cold symptoms in
patients with TMJ.

i use to have all of those when my tmd was
in full swing. something didn't feel right
about my throat and nose, i was
practically deaf and little bags under my
eyes and i had high temperature almost flu
like. it's insane how something small like
a messed up bite can trigger all of those
symptoms.

Have some of you experienced
hypersensitivity to heat, cold, and touch
in both upper and lower teeth?

teeth sinus connection Posted: 01-25-08 20:20pm
Hi... after much pain and physical
distress, and much research...( and a
diagnosis of TMJ and a bite guard etc.
etc. etc) I have taken the drastic step of
removing my root canalled teeth. ..which
totaled 8. I am finally feeling human
again! But it was a 10 year ordeal which
saw my perfect health spiral into a state
of disease. All trouble began when I had 8
teeth capped, which in turn became
abscessed ...which in turn had root
canals...which in turn were retreated.
Much money!!!$$$ All the while, I had
terrible face pain, 2 boil like sores that
drained green puss at the bridge of my
nose where the sinus opens..sinus
infection...head ache...cough ...as well,
I began to get joint pain and soreness in
my fingers, hands, knees and elbows. Sore
swollen eyes...blurred vision....I was
tired. I also began having problems with
my bladder. ..All this in my late 30's.
Please! Do yourself a favor and do some
research on root canals on line....you
will be blown away. If you are sick...get
rid of them! As I gave up on my vanity...a
nice white smile ( still have it...false
teeth are ok!!) and put my health
first...I had them pulled. Of course...my
dentist, and likely others, thought I was
crazy. He did not want to pull my teeth. I
found a dentist who listened. I am now
feeling soooo much better. ..and I thank
God I got rid of them....and man...did
they STINK!!!talk about a bacteria factory
poisoning you from the inside out!! Google
"Root Canals..and whatever symptoms you
may have..and see what comes up!!
