What Causes Sore Throat And Bad Taste In Mouth After Teeth Cleaning?
I had my teeth cleaned 31 days ago, ever since I have had a sever throat that is now affecting my voice and bad taste in my mouth and tingling burning tongue. He also used a topical benzocaine 20% liquid on my gums. The liquid dripped down my throat .

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
As such there is no such relation between sore throat & cleaning.It might be due to benzocaine dripping in throat.In case you have bad taste use 0.2% chlorhex mouth wash once daily.
Visit your dentist for further opinion.
