Does this sound like an exposed nerve after wisdom tooth extraction?

Hello





I had my botton right wisdom tooth removed well over a month ago now and for the first 2 weeks i had pain , earache , jawache , %26amp; it felt like my tooth was still there and throbbing , i think i may have had a mild dry socket but for the past 3 days whenever i eat or drink hot / cold food i get a wicked pain like a toothache same spot as before earache is horrible plus jawache , pain shooting up into my head causes me to have headaches often, i take pain killers for it as the pain goes away pretty much straight away when it has kicked in , when the tablets ware off i can be pain free for the rest of the day , i have noticed bending down causes the pain to come on and mainly with hot and cold too.





Does this sound like nerve damage from tooth extraction ?


also i have noticed the hole seems more open than it was last week strange to me.





i never eat sweets but the past few days i have been eating a couple a day , i wonder have i causes the hole to open up in anyway





thx

You could have dry socket


Or the tooth next to the extracted tooth could be infected. Call your dentist
Reply:i think so, go back to your dentist and have it checked.
Reply:what happens when your tooth is extracted a clot forms. And it is common if you lose part or all of that clot you will have pain called a dry socket. It then needs to be packet with a medication to help the healing process. While its is healing the hole needs to then feel in and close after one month it is still healing. But the cold hot sensation your feeling can only be from a nerve in the tooth . The pain may be coming from the tooth next to it causing a referral pain. Go back to you Dr and see if the packing still needs to be done or if another tooth is causing the pain.
