If you're experiencing intense pain and burning after drinking liquids following a wisdom tooth extraction, it could be dry socket.
Next Steps
Reach out to your Dentist or Oral surgeon immediately to determine if you need to come in for further evaluation.
Health Tips
In the meantime, take over-the-counter pain relievers, avoid irritants and drinking through a straw, smoking, or consuming hot or spicy foods, as these can further irritate the extraction site.
Maintain oral hygiene, and stay hydrated with small sips of water.
