Well, if losing feeling in your tooth is the part that has you most anxious, then I'm pleased to report that also seems like no big deal. I had my root canal about five years ago and I often forget that it was done, my mouth feels pretty much the same.
I was a little nervous that it might be pins and needles or numbness in my mouth 24/7, but the truth is that you just... don't feel it. Either the other nerves in my mouth are picking up the slack, or teeth just don't have a whole lot of feeling on their own.
Wooo! 🥳 forgetting that it was even done is the best case scenario in my head. The human body is WACK.
