Dear Sir/Madam! Three days ago my lower right first molar was extracted. Now I occasionally have kidney pain and pain in the teeth next to the extracted tooth, and from time to time there is also bleeding where the tooth was. In the evening when I lie down, I occasionally feel flushed and feverish. I would like to know whether these things can be caused by the extraction. Thank you in advance for your answer. Kind regards

Dear Sir/Madam!

Local signs (pain, swelling, bleeding from the wound...) can certainly be closely related to the procedure and will also subside. Elevated body temperature and swollen, painful local lymph nodes can also occur as complications of an extraction (with systemic signs, we recommend taking an antibiotic). Kidney problems should not be directly related to the procedure, although indirectly, due to stress and reduced resistance, problems can also appear in other organ systems.

Have a nice day!
