Has anyone else noticed getting a sore throat or tonsils
or whatever right after getting your teeth cleaned?
That's a well known possibility after dental work.
I had two wisdom teeth removed a few months ago,
and suffered an very persistent low-level sore throat.
It took several weeks to clear up. It was never
as bad as the sore throat that accompanies a cold,
but it sure took a whole lot longer to go away.
At the time of the dental work, I was given
a prescription for antibiotics, which I took,
but that did not stop it from happening.
More recently, I've had a full mouth debridement
and deep root planing (a very intense form of
tooth cleaning). In this case, I was given
a liquid antibiotic to swish around my mouth
for 30 seconds. So far, that seems to have been
effective, however the amount of bacteria released
may have been much smaller.
