MaryAnn, that's wonderful news! Thanks for sharing.

My dentist once took an X-ray of my sinuses, because he though the pain in my tooth could really be a sinus infection irritating the root. He was half right. I'd had the tooth filled with something I was allergic to, causing inflammation around the root, which in turn caused the sinusses to become irritated. Took us a while to figure it out. By that time the tooth couldn't be rescued so I had to have it pulled. It solved the sinus problem.

The worst part is, that this wonderful dentist sent me for allergy tests before filling the tooth, but the allergist forgot to mention one of the ingredients in her report. So we both thought the filling he used was safe. Grrr.

I could sue the allergist, but here in the Netherlands it's very hard to get compensated. The allergist would probably just get a slap on the wrist, that's all. My health insurance covers most of the dental work, so I can't be bothered. I don't want to waste my energy on fights.

So that's how you get your sinusses imaged. Ofcourse any radiology department could do an x-ray, I guess.

Now let's hope that sinus trouble is all we are dealing with in this thread!!

Love

Jacqueline
