Answer
Hi Sam

Great to hear from you - of course I remember you!! The wisdom teeth were obviously a red herring, and it doesn't sound like sinus pain to me. This is very difficult to diagnose, certainly without seeing you, and there are any number of things it could be. The fact that you were having pain down both sides could suggest it is down to grinding your teeth at night and clenching them during the day. Similarly though it could well be from the tooth under your crown.

If you would like to come and see me I'll be more than happy to have a look for you. We're only in Stratford, and have a lot of patients from Coventry.

You can get the phone number, address etc from our website
