Why is my dog drooling after dental cleaning and extraction?

Hi my dog had dental cleaning and extraction on thursday. He had two teeth out. I have a cream to rub into his mouth folds. However he is drooling a lot. Is this normal after cleaning and extraction? Pet's info: Dog | English Cocker Spaniel | Male | unneutered | 8 years and 9 months old

This may be an indication of oral pain from the extraction. I would recommend speaking with the veterinarian about pain management and add on additional pain medications. The suture used to close the extraction site may be causing some irritation as well. I would maybe have the veterinarian take a look at the mouth to be on the safe side. I hope this helps!
