5 days after I had two wisdom teeth extracted (upper & lower), seemingly out of nowhere I have a VERY very salty taste in my mouth.  I can even taste the salt in my nose.This comes on the heels of what was an extremely sore throat on the side of the extraction.  At first I feared that the salty taste was due to dehydration because my extremely sore throat had made it almost impossible for me to drink.  However, after being seen by a physician, dehydration was ruled out.  Im very worried that I may have an oral-antral fistula or some other extraction related complication.Worse yet, Im not scheduled for a post op follow until 2 days from now.
Helloi have gone through your query. Extraction of wisdom teeth can cause certain complication like pain and difficulty in opening the mouth for few days. As the wound heals these complications go away.it depends on how traumatic WS your extraction procedure. You need to take a good antibiotic course. Warm saline gargle for three times daily.it generally doesn't cause any fistula.until unless in case of upper wisdom tooth extraction if maxillary sinus is involved.u can wait for your follow up and continue the antibiotic, warm saline gargle and painkiller for NW. Hope this ans helpsRegards
