Hi guys!
My wife just had her wisdom teeth extracted today, and the oral surgeon told us that in the process a small hole formed in one of her sinuses. He says this is common and it will heal within 2 weeks or so. I asked him if scuba diving will be a problem and he said that within 2 weeks she will be good to go.
While I trust his advice, I feel that 2 weeks is a very short time for a "hole" in one of her sinuses to be ok with the pressures we dive at while scuba diving. Has anyone had experience with this? I read online that sinus surgery usually requires 2-3 months healing before any scuba diving can be done. While this is not sinus surgery, it still is a hole in the sinus so it has me worried.
We have a dive trip planned for November so that is 3 months away, but we were hoping to dive a little in September as well locally over here. Any advice or past experience?
