Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)

I have behind nostril pain?

I have a pain near my root going down to my front tooth. Especially when I apply pressure behind the nostril. I went to the dentist and I have no cavities or abscesses or infections. I went to primary care and got a sinus view x-ray since I have screws and plates there from jaw surgery in 2012. It seems normal. The plates and screws are intact they said.

There are a lot of possibilities here:

-bacterial infection, which could have started at the hair follicles inside the nose
-soft tissue cyst
-dental root disease/hairline crack/periapical abscess/cyst

Consider having dental X-rays or a cone beam CT of the area at an oral surgery office. People to consider seeing: oral surgery, ENT, another dentist.
Hello,

Difficult to say without a fiberoptic exam and reviewing X-rays and obtaining more imaging. Recommend seeing an ENT Specialist along with an Oral surgeon.

Given what you say, this is most likely neurogenic pain. Suggest that you see ENT for second opinion, then a neurologist. I will assume that you have had dental imaging studies.and do not have significant periodontal disease.
