Hi i did review your concern .Fever with chills after a dental or a mouth procedure can be due to local infection or it can be due to a distant organ infection. i would recommend you to consult a physician for a suspected endocarditis if the fever is high grade. The tests required would be local inspection of mouth and also blood cultures as well as echocardiography
i hope this answer helps you
wish you a healthy life.
