I had my teeth cleaned on Monday and on Thursday evening I started having a fever of 101.3 degrees. Cleaning?

Question

Could the cleaning cause the fever. I also have a very bad headache. I told the dentist that I have Trigaminal Facial Nueralgia, but he worked harder in causing me as much pain as he could possibly do to a patient. I have been going to him for a few years and he has never treated me like this before.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

if there is no swelling or bleeding of the gums then the cleaning probably did not cause the fever.
If you feel he treated you poorly, then you need to pony up and tell him so, give him a chance to make amends.
