I recently had a rhinoplasty on 10/5/2017. Ever since then, after the stints were removed, my front teeth have been super sensitive. Especially if I go to rub my nose (due to it itching) or if I accidentally twitch my nose. Its not a pain, its just super sensitive, and I don't know if its also because my top lip couldn't connect to my bottom lip, for about a week and a half after surgery, due to bleeding and drip pads, so the air made them that way or not but wanted to ask to be sure.
