i had my number 15 tooth extracted exactly a week ago today, and i still continue to have pain. i can also feel with my tounge, little sharp pieces/shards in the extaction area. i think the are pieces of my tooth still in the gum from when the dentist was gutting the tooth in half. i have even pulled a little pices of the shards out and i think that the shards are making the extraction area not heal well... i cant drink anything cold or i will drop to my knees in severe pain. i am not sure what to do either...

Your wisdom teeth push the others tighter together. Once removed your teeth will move back into the space created by the removal of the wisdom teeth. It can take some time, depending on how quickly your gums heal and how much room you have in your gums once they are removed.
