Relearning how to chew freaks me out a lot. It’s my front tooth and I don’t want to lose my ability to bite into things 😭
Mine was right next to a front tooth (incisor). I hear you. You will still be able to bite normally.
Remember your new crown will be a bit tougher, so you will still be able to chew. Your dentist will help you test that prior so you won't be released without being able to use everything like you should.
I had stopped chewing on that side of my mouth because of the tooth damage, so it took practice to remember to use those teeth again.
