Is It Normal To Have Fever After Deep Cleaning Of Teeth?
I had a deep cleaning yesterday because of periodontitis. I had high fever but after taking tylenol I was ok. The fever didn't come back. But as I have to continue the treatment I'm bit worried, and also because I'm afraid that I have some other disease I don't know. I don't have diabetis and 5 years ago I went to check my heart it was ok. I run like 30km a week and work as a bike messenger. The question is, is it normal to have fever after teeth deep cleaning? Or is it indication of something more serious?

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
If you have a mild fever dont worry just take tab paracetomol, cleaning of teeth as such does not have any relation with fever, but this could be possible in case of deep infection.
If the fever is high i would suggest you to consult to a Physician and get the checkup done.
Take care!
