He's recovering well BUT his teeth are a source of severe pain. He's finding it difficult to eat or drink anything due to the hypersensitivity. I was looking into whether this could be related to nerve damage when I came across these posts. I haven't seen anyone mention tooth pain...has anyone else experienced this? He did not have sensitive teeth prior to surgery. Its so painful that he's reluctant to eat or drink.
