What causes pain months after wisdom teeth removal? What should I do about it?
No, not really. Just some occasional sensitivity when I eat certain foods.
That's a common symptom of dry socket. In addition to pain and sensitivity to hot and cold foods, you may also notice bad breath and a bad taste in your mouth. If you suspect that you have dry socket, it's important to see your dentist or oral surgeon right away. They can clean the area, apply a medicated dressing, and prescribe pain medication if necessary.
