Is the wisdom tooth on the surface? Since I had a tooth extracted, the one next to it has frequently been tender (like shoots), and the dentists said it's a nerve problem in the tooth. I do hope it goes because it makes chewing that side difficult. I had it once before and it seemed to go.

When you have a tooth extraced, especially in the rear of your mouth, there can be some swelling. After my wisdom tooth was extracted, I couldn't bite or open my mouth for about 3-4 days. All my teeth were sensitive aswell. So, it may just be a reaction to the location of the tooth.

Have you had anything to help heal it? I had a pack on it for a few days, and then put aloe vera gel in it 3-4 days (got it from the dentist) with corsodyl (not at the same time).
