A member asked:
I'm not sure, but should the back of your mouth hurt after wisdom teeth removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It certainly can - : You can have some referred pain from the procedure, and also some injections are given more posterior to where the surgical incisions are and you may be feeling some of the soreness from having multiple injections as well.
