Patience is key... but yeah, easier said than done sometimes.
That's a cool concept. Reminds me of how retreatments in dental procedures can sometimes be a bit unpredictable too—healing isn't always linear, and setbacks or unexpected reactions happen more often than you'd think. I like the idea of exploring unexpected memories or side effects popping up; it feels authentic. Patience definitely plays a huge role, but frustration is totally understandable. Could make for some really relatable character moments.
Totally feel that. I remember after my root canal retreatment, I thought I'd be good as new in a week or two... nope. Took way longer than expected, and just when I thought it was finally healing, bam—random sensitivity outta nowhere. Definitely tested my patience (and my wallet, lol). Wonder if anyone else had weird side effects pop up weeks or even months later?
Ugh, dental stuff can be so unpredictable. I totally get the frustration—went through something similar myself. After my retreatment, I thought I was in the clear after about three weeks, but then randomly at like two months out, I started getting these weird twinges whenever I drank something cold. Freaked me out at first, but my dentist said it can happen as nerves settle down and heal. Took a while, but eventually it faded away completely.
Hang in there, though. Healing timelines seem to vary a ton from person to person, and it sounds like you're already through the worst of it. Just keep an eye on things and don't hesitate to check in with your dentist if something feels off. It sucks when these things drag out (especially financially, ouch), but it'll get better eventually... promise!
Yeah, dental healing is weirdly unpredictable. I had retreatment done last year, and honestly, it took a good three months before things felt totally normal again. Had random sensitivity flare-ups too, but eventually they just stopped happening... hang in there, it'll settle down.
