Sharp sensitivity pain after a month
Hi, I have extracted my right upper wisdom tooth 4 weeks back. I didn't eat anything or chew anything on that side for 3 weeks. I was having only soft foods and didn't chew hard foods even on the other side. I went to the OMFS for a follow-up 2 weeks back. He took x-rays and said the site is healed and everything is fine. I started eating food on the extraction side this week. I started to eat soft foods. I ate some hot food and I immediately I felt sharp, sensitive pain on the extraction side. It was like pinching. It was there for first two or three spoons of hot food. After that , it was normal. I am experiencing this for past 3 days. Is this normal? Or do I need to go back and check? I saw the extraction site and it looks white color. What to do for this sensitivity?  Attaching the pan xray taken in the follow up appointment.

Do not worry. Just avoid taking any hot and spicy food .Take all in room temperature. Gargle with warm water and salt thrice daily. If you have betadiene. Dilute it with water and then gargle. Avoid chewing from the affected side.
