Should I Be Worried About The Sneezing And Runny Nose After Tooth Removal?
Hi and thanks for your help. I had an upper left wisdom tooth removed today. After I left the office I began to sneese and my nose began to run. I have sneezed many times today and still have stuffy, runny nose. The dentist called and said it is because they shot oxygen up my nose and that this happens although is uncommon. Is this true?

Good afternoon sir,
I understand your problem, sneezing may be caused due to shot of oxygen, moreover, mucosa of sinus (connecting to the nose) that might be endangered during extraction is quiet away from the third molar in usual cases, nevertheless, if you have a doubt you can consult any dentist who will advice you to have a dental x-ray of that region. Meanwhile you can have decogestant spray to relieve nasal stuffiness.
