It is common for dental professionals to numb your tooth before you have dental work performed. This is done so you do not experience discomfort during the procedure. However, there are other circumstances in which a tooth may go numb. When your tooth is numb, you generally cannot feel anything. When you bite down, it may feel like your tooth is not even there. Having a numb tooth can be a good thing before a procedure, as well as an indication of bigger problems.
