What Causes Sensitivity In Lower Left Side Of Mouth?

July 12th I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out...Then This past Monday I had to go back to the dentist cause of cold sensitivty on lower left side...He said it was due to a cavity which he filled...But the sensitivity is still there and the pain is getting worse...Could this be my gums where my wisdom tooth was.

Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. You didnt mention if you have sensitivity in one tooth only or entire arch. Also if it is sensitivity to hot or cold?
If your dentist told its due to filled cavity and its getting worse, I suggest you to go to your dentist again and have a check up and x-ray done.
If required, get RCT done.
If the filling is fine, look for any abrasion of teeth near gums. This also leads to sensitivity, initially to cold. Use Sensodyne toothpaste in case of minimal or no abrasion for 2 weeks. In case of large abrasion, you may need filling.
All this requires examination by a dentist.
I hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
