I had tooth #2 extracted about 10 days ago and ever since then my top teeth (#6-11 mostly) have had this tingling/crawling feeling. its annoying and was wondering if this is normal? i also know that my bite is off and grind my teeth (about a month)

Multiple Issues: The extraction should not be related to the altered feeling on your maxillary anterior teeth. Your bruxism and malocclusion most likely the cause. Please have your dentist investigate further.

6-11: Greater chance the tingling feeling is due to your occlusion rather than to your extraction. See your Dentist to mediate your bite problems. Services of an Orthodontist may be in order. A bite splint may help with the diagnosis.
