I had a problem tooth and had it pulled. I was told that the root of this tooth went thru the sinus. The dentist packed it with gel foam and advised me to be careful and not to sneeze, cough, etc. Then, disaster--the stitches fell out followed by the gel packing. Now, I have this weird suction feeling with air--the sinus is back open. I am already taking antibiotics. Is this an emergency or can I wait until Monday morning to see the dentist?
Answer:
Go to the emergency room. I had a similar situation and the dentist told me to go to the emergency room.
When I had a tooth removed, I had the same thing and they just left it open to close over on its own (and sent me home with antibiotics). I think it would probably depend upon how large the hole is and how easily it can close on its own.
Call your dentist and he/she will tell you what they think should be done..But you should be fine until monday unless it is really hurting you but if it's just annoying then you'll be fine...Good Luck
