Saliva problem following dental surgery
Hi.
Following a lower left surgical removal of a wisdom tooth i developed an abscess on my jaw opposite the extraction site. After several weeks of draining and antibiotics I was left with the following symptoms.
My saliva on my lower left side has become excessive with what feels like thicker bubbles amongst the saliva. I would liken it to water in a pot being the normal saliva and drops of olive oil with in the water being the thicker bubbles. My saliva is still clear in colour.
I have returned to my dentist 4 times and GP twice. Both say everything looks ok. It’s now been 1 year with no improvement. Any suggestions or who to see next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Shane
