Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thanks for putting your query over here.
It is quite possible that you have got sinusitis because of dental infection.
If I were your treating doctor,I recommend,
-Antibiotic like Augmentin for 5 days.(prescription drug),antihistaminics like cetrizine and analgesics
- Salt water gargles.
-Cold compression on swollen area of face for 15 minutes for 3-4 times in a day.
-Adequate intake of fluids especially warm fluids like soups.

Hope this information helps.
Thanks and regards.
