Treatment Process & Time Frame (Based on General Dental Practice)

1) Short summary of what’s likely happening

After a recent filling, mild sensitivity for a few days is common, especially to hot, cold or pressure. But the combination you describe — pain when drinking (likely thermal or fluid pressure) and a squeaking/grating feeling during chewing — raises a few possibilities:

Likely causes (ranked by probability)

Impacted Tooth Extraction Healing Review (Day 7 Post-Op)

From the photo you provided, the extraction site shows a reddish-pink area with some yellowish or whitish tissue. This is likely granulation tissue — a normal part of the healing process.
The absence of a dark empty socket suggests that a dry socket is unlikely. Some redness near the gum line and mild swelling are expected, especially if sutures are still in place. The yellowish area may also be a fibrin layer, a natural “scab” that protects the wound.

Quick radiographic findings (what I see)

• Impacted mandibular third molar(s) (wisdom tooth/teeth) with a mesio-horizontal / mesioangular impaction — the crown is tipped toward the second molar and is at least partially covered by bone/soft tissue.

• The impacted crown is in close proximity to the distal surface/roots of the adjacent second molar → this raises risk of decay/resorption of the second molar and increased surgical difficulty.
