A member asked:
Have inflamed, irritated parotid duct opening right side. what is best treatment? wisdom tooth removed 2days ago. connection unknown.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rx depends on cause: Wisdom tooth removal and parotid duct inflammation probably unrelated but coincidental. Treatment for Stinson's Duct inflammation depends on cause (trauma, stone in duct, infection, etc. Please return to the Dentist or Oral Surgeon who removed your wisdom tooth for an evaluation to determine the best course of treatment.
