Sensitivity after dry socket

Sensitivity after dry socket

I am finally over the dry socket pain, but now I still cannot drink anything cold. If it hits anywhere near that side of my mouth, there is horrible pain. How long will this sensitivity last? It's been 1 1/2 wks since the tooth extraction. I can drink anything hot and it does not bother that area.

It may take some time.  I got my wisdom teeth out and I was cold sensitive for a month or so although it wasn't horrible pain but it was definitely hurting.  The socket also was open for awhile, I would say maybe a month or more so I also kept getting food stuck in there.  Just be patient and it should gradually heal.  If it seems like its not healing at all, I would go back to the dentist to get it checked again.
