A member asked:
I had a lower molar (not wisdom tooth) pulled yesterday and today i have a sore throat. is this common or something to be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is normal: A sore throat and pain with swallowing may occur after lower molar extraction. rinse with warm salt water 3X/day and this will subside in 3 - 5 days.
