Pain in tooth or gum next to extracted tooth

[Gordon]

It's fairly common after an extraction for a neighbour tooth to become sensitive to cold/sweet. This is because some root surface has become exposed due to reshaping of the socket. It should settle down in time but you can help it along by using some sensitive tooth toothpaste, rub some into the sensitive area with a finger last thing at bedtime and leave it there, don't rinse or eat anything.

Thank you. Yes, I'd heard that but 10 months seems like a very long time. It is better than it was but still can't tolerate very cold things
