That “not quite my face” thing is so real. I remember after my own root tip surgery, I kept poking my cheek just to check if it was still attached. Did you notice any weird tastes with certain foods? For me, coffee tasted like pennies for ages.
That metallic coffee taste is too real—I thought my morning brew got sabotaged by the Tooth Fairy or something. I also kept feeling like my lip was two seconds from sliding off my face. Toast tasted like cardboard for a while, but ice cream was still magic.
That metallic taste really threw me off too—felt like I was chewing on spare change every time I tried to eat. For me, it took about a week before things started tasting normal again. The numbness was the weirdest part, honestly. Ice cream definitely helped, though... cold stuff just felt right while everything else was off.
That metallic taste is such a strange side effect, isn’t it? I remember thinking my sense of taste was permanently off after my own procedure. For me, the numbness lingered a bit longer than the taste—almost two weeks before I could trust my tongue again. Did you notice any difference depending on what you ate or drank? I found citrus made everything feel even weirder, but cold foods like you mentioned were actually soothing. It’s reassuring to hear things settled down for you in about a week; everyone’s timeline seems a bit different.
Funny, I actually found citrus was the only thing that *cut through* that weird metallic taste for me. Cold foods just made my teeth ache more…maybe I’m just weird? My timeline was all over the place—some days I thought it was better, then boom, back to square one. Taste buds are drama queens, apparently.
