Wouldn't the nerves in your tongue do that?

Ever bit your tongue before? If yes, then the nerves in both your tongue and teeth are not 100% effective at preventing you from biting your tongue. Now take away all of your teeth's nerves, and you're going to increase the likelihood of biting your tongue with less nerves.

Agreed, when you get posts and porcelain, it feels numb in your mouth. You have to think where your tongue is. I thought that feeling would go away and it never did.
