Why Is it so hard to get Doctors to listen?

Ok...Today I'm feeling very frustrated! For about 4-5 months now something has been going on in my mouth (I mean other than my braces stuff etc) I had started having a yucky taste between a couple of my teeth awhile back, and a lot of burning in my front left incisor and canine. I originally went to my ortho about it, who told me I needed to go see my dentist. So, I did. He said he really didn't know what was wrong but that I needed to go see my endo (root canal specialist.) So I did then....he told me I needed a root canal, which I had done. During this time I had suspected that it really had nothing to do with my teeth, and everything to do with my palate expansion. I really felt I had a sinus infection, as I noticed that when I would make suction in my mouth I would feel stuff shoot through my sinuses and into my front teeth area. I asked my doctors about it, saying that I was really prone to sinusitus and that perhaps this was a sinus infection gone awry, or that maybe I had some kind of perferation due to the SARPE. I was told oh..no highly unlikely. During the time between seeing the dentist and endo for my root canal they had me on antibiotics. Saying the yucky taste between my tooth was coming from my bad tooth and once the root canal was done it should clear up. It started to get a bit better while I was one the Augmentin they perscribed but never quite went away.

So, I have the root canal done, the yucky taste doesn't go away, but gets worse. NO one has taken any pictures of my palate at all since having the SARPE done. I again said to my ortho, and OS, that I don't think it has anything to do with my teeth. So knowing how my body behaves with a sinus infection I decided to consult my Ear Nose and Throat doctor. It was a few days before I could get in, so I went to "First Care" and told the doctor my symptoms and that I was pretty sure I had a sinus infection. I told him I took Augmentin for 14 days recently and it got a bit better but then came back. He put me on Bioxin for 14 days.

Monday I went to my ENT....and guess what? They are just about positive that I have a sinus infection of some sort. Within two days of beingon the Bioxin the yucky taste between my teeth has gone away. They have me using nasalcort to shrink my nasal turbinates and allow things to drain, Mucinex to loosen all the secrections up, and of course the Bioxin. They said that it is not uncommon at all for some people to have sinuses that run very close to the roots of ones teeth, and given the type of surgery I had, I could very well have a (fistula) or perferation in my sinus lining or wall that would allow the infection to leach out through an area of my gums or teeth (which is exactly what I had asked all of my other doctors about previously.) My ENT wants to do a full CT scan next Friday after 2 weeks on the meds and see what we can figure out. Things are slowly starting to improve, but I still have a lot of sinus pressure and burning in my front teeth. I have been dealing with this for over 5 months now, and by the time I went to First Care the other day, I was so sick to my stomach with nausea that I could barely walk. This was the final straw for me that it was truly sinus related, as I always get incredibly tired and nauseous when I have one.

Why do doctors just blow people off or give them the run around? I mean I realize that some people are hypochondriacs, but most are not, and probably know their bodies far better then a doctor gives them credit for. At any rate it is just aggravating...mostly I'm pissed that no one has offered to take X-rays not even my oral surgeon who did the freakin surgery! I have to go to a totally separate doctor and request them! Don't you think that is sorta messed up?
