Some patients report cold sensitivity after a wisdom tooth is extracted. If this occurs it usually is coming from the tooth directly anterior to the extraction site. If the root area of that tooth is more exposed after the extraction it can feel increased cold sensitivity. Also if the tooth anterior to the extraction sight has been luxated (wiggled) during the extraction it can experience an increased sensitivity to cold. Usually this sensitivity will gradually go away.
This sensitivity goes after sometime. This post is good for the patients who don't know about this.
ReplyDeleteHello Doctor,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. I had my wisdom tooth removed in Jan 2013. Even today I can't chew food on my left side. It gets sensitive. If I forcefully chew food and then drink water. I get a deep pain. Couple of minutes later I get to normal. Please advice.
Bro apply sensodine paste on that area where you feel more sensitivity and leave it for 20 minutes and then clean it.do it regulary definately you will see the result.even i to had that sensitivity now iam perfectly alright

ReplyDeleteYou may want to have your dentist check the tooth in front where you had your wisdom tooth removed. It may have a crack in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Doc!
