Powerade may not be the best choice after a tooth extraction due to its high sugar content and acidity, which can potentially irritate the extraction site and hinder healing. It's generally recommended to stick to water or electrolyte-replenishing beverages that are low in sugar and acidity. Always follow your dentist's post-operative instructions for the best recovery.

Following a tooth extraction 11 days ago you can feel what appears to be part of the tooth in the socket and every time you eat or drink the socket is extremely painful is this OK?

If you still feel what may be part of your tooth left in the socket, that is not good. I would suggest seeing your dentist, or oral surgeon about this as part of your tooth may have broken in the process of the extraction. If there is no partial tooth remaining, you may have what is called dry socket, which is extremely painful. This website will explain "dry socket" to you: http://www.dentalgentlecare.com/dry_socket.htm

Why doesn't powerade freeze?

Powerade does not contain any carbon, thus it cannot go flat. For example, when you shake a coca cola and open it, the carbon is released into the air. Drinking that coca cola will now have a taste without that burning feeling in your mouth. However, because Powerade doesn't contain any carbon, its taste will stay good for long periods of time. Whenever you start to feel that the Powerade isn't good anymore, it is most-likely because your tolerance to its taste has increased, so you should wait before drinking anymore for its maximum taste.
