Thanks again for your time and possible path forward . I I almost fainted in the office when the first oral surgeon told me about the gutta percha in my sinus. My current ENT also said he thinks the two Oral Maxillofacial surgeons do not want to touch another Doctors mistake .
I also want to pursue possible legal action just to help pay for the thousands and I have paid between the tooth and all of these specialists. The root canal and crown was $:3500 and all of the ENT, Urgent Care and the Dental specialists , scans and medication have been close to 5,000 a total of $8,500 to be In agonizing pain. I live in NYC so that is probably why the cost has been so high just for a root canal and crown let alone all of the other Doctors. I hope I can have a lawyer take this just so I can perhaps find a path forward in regard to finding a medical provider willing to remove the tooth. From what the two Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons said the gutta percha turns into cement after a few weeks. The Oral Maxillofacial surgeons said they think it would be almost impossible to remove the material. I think you are right about the hole it probably will be very difficult. The various scans claim the sinus floor is intact but I think a very microscopic hole must still be present that is letting bacteria into my sinus.
Again thank you and I appreciate your sincere concern and suggestions.

hi cat100 ----
Thinking of you ..... I don't believe you need a hole for the infection to effect you. I think I mentioned , after taking antibiotics every year for severe cough, Junk came out of sinus and cough quit and could breath through my nose , but the drainage never quit. The day I left the surgeons office from getting my tooth pulled, My 26 day migraine was gone, my long distance vision was clear ( I had worn glasses for driving for 10+ yrs) my severe neck and low back pain was gone . - for 4 days. Vision stayed clear, rest of pain came back. NOW ... haven't had my cough since Aug17,2019 *Tooth pull day.* My migraines have almost totally disappeared. ENT"s did CT scans over the years and never saw anything. I always told everyone I think I have a secret infection pocket in my head, why else does my severe cough stay after a 3 day cold was gone. Always called it acute sinusitis. I never had a fever, ever....
You need to get to where you feel safe and pain free. I am not a dentist or doctor, so I don't believe them when they say it doesn't effect other parts of you. I have a 1875 medical dictionary I found at a second hand store for fun. I bet this belief might be in there .... Dum-dums.......I know it must hurt your gut to pull that expensive pretty tooth back out. But I think you know what to do. NOTE - whenever I tell a doctor or dentist what happened they don't believe me. " These things sometimes resolve themselves at an older age" OH MAN.?????
Take care. T
