Why do teeth need so many painful nerves?

Why do they need nerves at all when they’re just for chomping? Would surely be better without them.

Because the nerves help you understand you’re doing something that causes harm. Biting too hard, grinding your teeth, eating cold foods. Nerves allow you to effectively sense to a very fine degree via bones. The nerve has to be sensitive to be able to feel with enough precision through teeth to prevent us biting too hard or causing damage.
