I am just after having pilonidal sinus excision surgery with disposable sutures and currently have the vacuum dressing and in the days following I have had severe pain in my teeth, worse when chewing food to the point that it is unbearable to chew. I was on antiobiotics for a cold- sore throat, cough, blocked nose at the time. I have extremley dry mouth no matter how much I drink and following the surgery and painful tongue also.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done, take an x-ray of the infected tooth after complete healing of your surgical wound you can start with the dental procedures. Follow the post-operative instructions properly, maintain a good hygiene. Xerostomia makes the oral cavity susceptible to any kind of infection consult your treating doctor for detailed clinical examination. Maintain a good oral hygiene avoid alcohol, carbonated Chat Doctor.  Hope this helps out. Regards.
