Did anyone get a sore throat while the wisdom teeth were coming in?

Answer 1

There shouldn't be a connection between a sore throat and the eruption of teeth. Unless there is an infection in your mouth. I did have a slightly sore throat following the extraction of a lower (and troublesome) wisdom tooth.) The sore throat was not caused by the tooth itself or an infection, but was actually reportedly caused by three things: (1) limited liquid intake after extraction (because of pain) caused my mouth to be dryer than normal (2) during surgery, debris (including parts of the tooth, blood, and medication) entered my throat (this is common and expected) The debris can cause some temporary irritation (3) some minor nerve damage after extraction can "mimic" the feeling of a dry or sore throat, especially when the nerve damage involves a slight numbness of the tongue. In all of these cases (except some cases of more permanent nerve damage) should be temporary and go away within one to two weeks after extraction.

Answer 2

Sore throat is a form of infection due to bacteria and may be due to several reasons. If the Wisdom tooth is impacted (in simple words: is not comming out normally) it may cause a host of infections and problems in your teeth and gums. Consult your dentist to have your wisdom tooth checked and to see that if it is creating any problems....

Answer 3

Absolutely - any infectious bacteria that gets into the throat area can cause a sore throat. The most common parallel is a sinus infection, where bacteria in sinus mucous drains down the back of the throat, causing a throat infection as well. Warm, dark and moist is what bacteria like, and our mouth/throat area tends to be dirty anyway.

Gargle and rinse with a warm saltwater solution, about 2-3 tablespoons per cup, 2 or 3 times a day. Make sure you get the tooth dealt with as well - an infected root can cause real problems if not addressed.

Answer 4

I believe you can get neck pains due to infected/misplaced wisdom teeth. My older sister found out her wisdom teeth were infected when the back of her neck became really sore. She went to the doctor and found that she needed her wisdom teeth extracted, everything is pretty well connected to each other when it comes to muscles and nerves in the same area.

Answer 5

It can, but it is much more likely that the cause of the sore throat is simply breathing dry air, which dries nasal passages and mouth. If you are a mouth breather at night, sleeping in dry air (like with an AC on), you can end up with frequent sore throat symptoms.

Answer 6

Nope. Just painful.

Answer 7

some times.
