When the dr said root of the tooth is exposed she may have meant of the adjacent tooth. Sometimes wisdom teeth are placed in such a manner that after extraction the root of adjacent tooth may be exposed. It is normally not a problem. If you have lot of sensitivity with hot and cold then use a tooth paste like sensodyne or Vantej. It normally settles on its own
