What Causes Salivary Gland Infection And Bumps After Wisdom Tooth Removal?

I had my bottom 2 wisdom teeth pulled over 2 years ago. They were badly impacted. A few months after the surgery I noticed a hard painful bump in the roof of my mouth. On both sides there is a hard lump, but the right size is a lot worse. I have been to 3 oral surgeons, a dentist, and 2 ents. I have had 2 x-rays. They all say they can't find anything wrong. It is very painful and when it gets inflamed my whole throat gets sore. I also have a lot of pain in both sides of my jaw and down my neck. I was told by 1 surgeon I had tmj and another a salivary gland blockage. I have had 2 salivary gland infections. Two doctors could not any saliva from my glands. I have dry mouth and my right eye has been twitching for a year. What do you think it is?

Your problems seems to be because of different reasons. Your throat problem is due to dryness of mouth. After your salivary glands infection there isreduced flow. Lot of complications arise due to insufficient salivary flow. Try medicines to increase salivary flow.
