Hi. Impacted teeth does not cause any viral infection however, when it becomes infected damages other teeth or causes other dental problems like swelling around the jaw, difficulty opening mouth, jaw pain so, you may feel pain till the throat. Kindly visit your dentist. You can do warm saline rinses 6-7 times a day till then. Thanks.
