Bill,

Those kinds of strange sensations can continue for quite some time. I found that there were lots of nerves that had been temporarily deadened by treatment, and as they returned I noticed stinging and pain in spots that had been numb for awhile. I also found that my tongue stayed swollen for months afterward and therefore was more likely to rub against certain teeth when I talked or ate.

As more time passes, if you find that you do have a sharp tooth that is rubbing and causing problems, your dentist should be able to file it down to minimize the risk of further irritation.
