What Could Be The Cause For Swollen Gums And Tooth Pain Post Cataract Surgery?

I had cataract surgery in Jan. and Feb. of 2013. I started having some tooth pain shortly after. Almost as if the tooth were infected. The dentist said "no." I have mild bouts with problem...off and on. Now my gum is swollen and my throat is beginning to hurt as well. I am never, ever sick. What's wrong?

hi,thanks for your query. cataract surgery has nothing to do with teeth pain and swelling of gum. the problems have mentioned are only because of decayed tooth or underlying gum problem.visit your dentist and get thoroughly checked for decayed tooth or underlying gum problem. hope this is helpful.
