Sinus infections and tooth ache: is there a relationship? It turns out, the upper molar teeth are inserted into the floor of the maxillary or cheek sinuses. Because these areas are so close, a sinus infection or other form of sinus disease may irritate the nerves that supply the upper back teeth. This may […]
Sinus infections may occur: after a virus causes a cold or upper respiratory tract infection with a severe episode of allergies when bacteria enters into the sinus areas All of these events result in swelling of the normal mucous membrane that surrounds sinus openings. This causes a blockage or obstruction of sinus drainage that can […]
While it is quite common to have 1-2 “colds” per year, sinus symptoms that last 2 or more weeks at a time and occur 3 to 5 times a year are considered significant. This should be further investigated to determine the cause. Some people are prone to frequent sinus infections. Sometimes structural problems that […]
Summary:Â In this randomized controlled study, we evaluated 24-week outcomes for in-office balloon sinus dilation (BSD) performed in office with medical management (MM) as compared with medical management only for patients with recurrent acute sinusitis.

A new article reported in the Journal of Neuroscience concluded that breathing through the nose results in improved memorization abilities versus breathing through the mouth. The study was conducted at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden which is world-renowned in the area of neuroscience and neurology. Breathing through the nose is also healthier because it […]
Recurring sinus infections can be quite frustrating and usually require frequent medication and possibly time off work or school. These infections normally result in symptoms of facial pressure and headache, as well as nasal congestion. Infections that occur 4 or more times a year are classified as recurrent acute sinusitis. Previously, treatment for recurrent […]
Ear fullness, ear pressure, or a popping sensation in the ear that occurs with changes in altitude are signs of eustachian tube dysfunction. The eustachian tube is the pressure equalizing tube between the nose and the ear. Until recently, patients were only treated with medications, primarily directed towards allergy management such as intranasal steroids, antihistamines, […]
Use of saline to wash or lavage the sinuses is of significant benefit to patients with sinus problems. We, at Nevada Sinus Relief, recommend use of hypertonic buffered saline available over the counter as Neil Med Sinus Rinse. The solution gently removes excess or viscous mucus, pollen and other irritants that can cause allergies and […]
Chronic rhinitis is inflammation of the nose lining that results in excessive mucous production causing a runny nose. Patients who suffer from allergies or other types of chronic rhinitis who do not have a good response with medications may be candidates. A new FDA approved technology called the Clarifix device aims to help reduce rhinorrhea. […]
