[|Human|] I had a root canal on my lower left tooth on July 28 - half of my lip and chin are still numb and my lip has burning sensations. The dentist said this is normal and will take time to go away but that I dont have permanent nerve damage. I am going tomorrow to have the tooth sealed and I am so afraid of the materials they will use and that the procedure will make the numbness worse. I have autoimmune diseases and dont want to have anything toxic put in the tooth. Do you have any advice for me before I see the dentist early tomorrow morning?
[|AI|]  Helloo...read through your query.first I would like to say you to be cool and don't get tensed.numbness is due to needle slightly touching the nerve(every persons' anatomy won't be same as in the textbook as there will be slight change here and there)so nothing to be worried.it will be healing in few weeks time.regarding materials used in dentistry all are biocompatible(least harmful to humans)we dentists are here to help people (why would we use harmful materials)so nothing to be worried.be cool and meet the dentist.in my opinion there is nothing to be worried as filling of root canal doesn't even need anesthesia so only thing you have to do is smile and be happy.and get it treated...stress can cause more problems to your mind and body....hope your benefitted something from this reply.have a healthy day!!!
