If the crown has been permanently cemented, you don't want to remove
it when other treatments haven't been exhausted yet.
Just let the dentist check it again. Sometimes there is just a little
leftover cement that is easy to remove. And sometimes the tightness is
just temporary until the adjacent teeth adjust to the new crown. And
sometimes some adjustment is needed. We can't tell over the internet,
so the dentist should be able to take care of it when you see him.
