They will if the nerves are "active" but I think since the roots on those were attached into the bone they were pretty much dead below the gumline They did cut the tooth far enough down in order to suture gum over top so if the nerves were still active she won't feel anything.

I do also have the insisors and some small chips off the other tooth as well, they pretty much saves as much as possible for me to take home. I also have the pics the Dr took of before & after the procedure, plus her homeopath vet will email me the xray pics when they receive those too
