Cold Sensation on Gum from Bone Graft?

Q: I had bone graft surgery on my upper and lower gums in Sept of 2011.  Everything has healed well it appears, except from time to time I get a weird cold sensation on one part of my gum.  It happens when I am not eating or drinking. Any thoughts?

A: I am not sure from your description what type of procedure you had done other than “bone graft surgery.”  However, a cold sensation usually would come from a tooth.  It would be advisable to have a periodontist look at this area and take a digital film if necessary and see what is going on around this area.
