Hi Dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.
Understanding concern about your health.
As your two tooth had beenn pulled and you feeling senstivity or tenderness in area around those tooth, need not to worry about it. Its nothing serious, the space around the tooth from where two teeth have been extracted is empty now and it causes deposition of bacteria, food particles. These bacteria keep on accumulating and improper brushing in that area builds them up which causes senstivity, itchiness in that area and that is the reason your tounge keeps on going in that area due to pressure built due to bacterial deposition. Hard bump on the roof could be because of any sharp tooth in lower arch which keeps on irritating upper arch as this is very common occurence after extraction.
What you need to do is maintain proper hygiene of your oral cavity. Brush atleast twice a day. Use flossing interdentally to remove debris.
Visit your nearby dentist for cleaning of your teeth. Get the sharpened edges trimmed. Apply dologel in the sharp bump area it will go away.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
