Tooth sensitivity after Wisdom Teeth Removal?

I got all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed 3.5 weeks ago. When I bite down slightly, my four back teeth are still a bit sensitive, especially the bottom ones. I can even feel it be slightly sensitive if I scrape off food on the surface of the tooth on the bottom left. Is this normal?





I just figured since my teeth were impacted and the surgery was difficulty that the teeth just need time for the roots to be settled again. Is this the case? HELP!

Tooth sensitivity after Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Yes, you are right, there are so many nerves there it takes a good 4 to 6 weeks for some people to heal and not feel any more pain. Everyone is different.


You should try take regualr low dose analgesia, something you are not allergic to of course. At night, try something a little stronger so you can sleep.


When you eat, try to eat softer foods or just drink some healthy shakes or smoothies til it all settles.


You can buy some soothing gels from the chemist or supermarket, but read the directions on them as some contain blood thinner as a main ingrediant and can promote bleeding of the gum. Just askt he Pharmacist for advice, it is free and there to use :)
Reply:Shouldn't you ask the dentist that took out your teeth ???
Reply:i had all 4 of mine removed as well. just like you said they are a little over sensitive a while after surgery. with time i think the sensitivity decreased. for me, i noticed that after my extraction that if metal touched my teeth, they would almost sting. but that went a way too.
