I broke a large lower back tooth on Friday night and it is causing my tongue to be sore. I have a dental appointment tomorrow.
This morning my tonsils are very sore and swollen and I am concerned that the dentist will take one look and refuse to treat me if he believes I have an infection.
Can tooth problems cause tonsils to swell?
