A member asked:
Is it normal for the teeth adjacent to the extraction site to feel sensitive after extraction? mine has been 11 post op but the adjacent teeth still feels sensitive. when will they get back to normal?

After tooth removal the bone supporting a tooth receeds and this affects the teeth on either side, causing them to be more sensitive than hey were. Give it time to heal and adjust.

These teeth could have gum disease or if the extraction was difficult than some trauma could have been caused by pressure to the adjacent teeth. Have the rest of your teeth examined.
