I had Radiesse and Botox last Tuesday. By Saturday afternoon, my upper back teeth were hurting so bad that I could not eat. On Monday, I saw my dentist and he took X-rays but did not see tooth infection. He put me on antibiotics to see if I have a sinus infection and see if the antibiotics help stop the tooth pain. Could the Radiesse &/or Botox caused an sinus infection or hit a nerve and is causing the intense pain in my teeth on the upper left side of my mouth?
