I've been in dentures just around 3 years now. I've also had a chronic sinus infection for just about as long. Too start I know I made a big mistake by wearing my immediates for way too long. I went to change them about a year in because they were getting uncomfortable, but the new ones I got were even worse, so I went back to the immediates and used products like cushion grip frequently to get them to fit right. Fast forward another 2 years and I do have a new set of dentures. Suction is good and I don't use cushion grip. Dentist seemed surprised how good the suction was because say I have no bone left on top. Bottom is partial, so I have 3 teeth that mounts to.

Over the last 6 months or so I noticed my jaw joints would really hurt when I went to open my mouth or to chew. It started on the left side and eventually radiated to the right. Now my bottom jaw hurts consistently and my top gums hurt from one corner to the other (entire mouth hurts). I also have really bad pain in my cheek bones and eye sockets. It's a deep pain that feels like its in my bones. I can tell I've lost more bone top/bottom, likely due to wearing my immediate dentures too long. The pain is generally worse when I first wake in the morning (I do not sleep in my dentures). I've also noticed that the few things I could eat comfortably before are getting more and more difficult and it feels like pressure around my cheeks and eyes when I'm chewing. Almost like my denture is pushing my bone so hard it's shifting my cheek bones into my eye sockets. I don't think that is happening, but that's the best way I can describe it.

Now to the sinus infection. Before I got my teeth pulled I was having real bad pain in one area of my mouth and it would radiate up left side of face and around my eye. I thought maybe I had an abscess. Finally went to dentist after years of neglect and was told I had a lot of bone loss and infections. They said I just enough bone to do implants. Set the date and got my teeth taken out. Time to let everything heal. Wear the immediate dentures for now and then decide long term plan and cost.

During this time the pain only got worse and was spreading. Okay, so maybe not my teeth. After much research I was led to an allergy doctor. They prescribed antibiotics and a rinse (rinse was rough so didn't do it as often as I should have). No improvement. Next I went to an ENT. They ordered a CT which showed I had a bad sinus infection on left side. Another round of a different antibiotic, a steroid, nasal spray and rinse solution were prescribed. Slight improvement initially, but overtime it got worse. Final outcome - surgery would be needed.

Fast forward to today. I have not proceeded with the sinus surgery just yet. I do believe the pain I'm feeling could be sinus related, but before I could easily identify the sinus related pain from the denture pain. Now it is becoming very difficult to tell what is causing what. Did I get TMJ from where immediate dentures too long? Is my mouth and face completely screwed? Is that just in my head and the pain is actually 100% due to the sinus infection? Maybe its a combination of both? I don't, I'm just so frustrated with all of this and wanted to share to see if anyone else has a similar story.

Oh and I am a smoker. I know that only makes this whole shit bag worse, but is what it is at the moment.

Thanks for listening.
