Yes, it's safe, but be sure to tell the dentist anyway. They will want to know, especially if you are on medications.

Yes it is ok to fill your cavity. Unless your have an acute infection and your doctor told you to stay in bed, then you can postpone your appointment. But if you can function there is no problem in treating your cavity.

No, that will not cause a sinus infection.

Well, it isn't exactly that simple.....if it is an upper tooth and that tooth's roots rest right up against the maxilary sinus - like it does in many people - a deep cavity can irritate the nerve and the sinus will also become irritated. In the case of an extraction, there is a definite link between teeth and sinus infections. So, never say never.

No. But if the nerve in the filled tooth died after having the filling placed it could cause pain that could mimic a sinus or ear infection. A new filling that is "high" in your bite could also cause sensitivity to biting or cold in a short period of time.

Yes! The infection from the bad tooth can travel to your ears or even throat and cause those areas to also become effected.

How can sinus infections affect hearing?

Your sinuses and your ear canals are connected. If you have a bad sinus infection and is not treated properly, you can easily get an ear infection. It also could just plug up your ear canals (by plug up i generally mean that the ear canal may become inflamed and therefore smaller), and it could make it somewhat harder to hear. But mostly it would be the ear infection that would be most likely.
