A member asked:
Upper left cracked abcessed molar pulled 8 days ago & extraction site is sensitive to hot/cold. dentist said its normal. should i get 2nd opinion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitive to temp: If the area is not healed after tooth being pulled, yes it will be sensitive to heat and cold until it has healed over. I would give it another 5 days, and if not better, then I would get a second opinion.
