Hello,
I am contacting you with a question. For the last few years I have noticed an unusual sensation in the area of my right ear (as if some container were placed over that area – a feeling of mild pressure... pressure changes with altitude equalize faster in the right ear than in the left. It starts popping quickly. Very rarely, actual pain also occurs). I had an ENT examination and they say everything is fine with the ear.
On the right side, however, I have root fillings in upper teeth 6 and 7. The upper wisdom tooth has been removed. In the lower jaw I also have fillings in teeth 5 and 6. The wisdom tooth has been removed.
A CT scan shows that an inflammatory process (granuloma) is taking place in the upper right area (above tooth 7 and in the area above the removed wisdom tooth).
I would like to know whether you think the sensation in my right ear is connected with these upper teeth. I have heard that hearing problems are connected with the lower jaw.
I would also like to know how a granuloma in the wisdom tooth area, in such a difficult-to-access location, is usually treated. Is this area also accessed through the nose, and what are the consequences for the patient in that case?
Thank you very much for your answer,
Kind regards, Mateja
