    Bad sinus problems from teeth?
    Hey I just want to start by saying I haven't been to the dentist in about 15 years! Yes I know not so smart. Anyhow every morning when I wake up I have blood in my mouth from my gums bleeding overnight apparently. Anyway at the back of my mouth a tooth is half rotten and when I press around the gum of it a little white pus comes out at times it seems. But what I am wondering is this tooth what's causing me to have allergy problems? I sneeze daily now, I have really bad headaches, very tired at times I get chest colds often. And sometimes I get a little dizzy. I'm certain I have gingivitis cause my gums bleed so easily. And also my neck is stiff from time to time, also my lymph nodes seem to swell a little in my neck. Is all this likely that its symptoms from my teeth?

    Bad teeth
    Can a bad tooth make you feel sinus problems all the time? I'm sleepy a lot and I have bad headaches on occasion as well and I seem to get a chest cold often! My gums however do bleed if I touch them. When I wake up in the am there's old brown blood in my mouth where they have bleed overnight. Just want to know some opinions and what I should do next? I have no insurance and to add to the list of symptoms I get dizzy on occasion. And around the bad tooth I can press around the gum line and a small amount of puss comes out. Thanks for replys

    In a word, yes. If you have an abcess, an infection, it can drag your health down.

    You need to see a Dentist. Check for dental schools in your area if you have no insurance.

    Ok I was just making sure my symptoms lined up with a dental issue! Tired of feeling rundown and sick all the time I figured all this out when allergy meds wasn't working at all!

    It's all true - I had an infection under a crown that couldn't be seen, no pus came out, but I was very, very sick with bronchitis for all the many months it took before I saw a periodontist, despite taking more and more new and expensive antibiotics!
    I wish more doctors saw the connection to teeth. They DON'T.
