Hi all,
I don't know how to interpret an experience a couple of months ago at the dentist and the things that have happened since. I'm hoping some of you have some insight.
I went to another dentist not too long ago for a second opinion about work I still need. In the process, he was examining 2 crowns I had obtained about 4 months before and was somewhat preoccupied with them - like he foresaw problems. One red flag to him was pain in one tooth when he tapped it with a tool, but I had had the crown ground down to get a better fit earlier that week.
It surprised him when I told him they were new.
Since then, the tooth that needed the crown ground down has hurt every once in a while. Because of that, I'm now wondering if all this put together means the dentist who placed the crown in the first place didn't get something right.
Am I assuming too much? Or is this sequence of events not a surprise, because just looking at a crown doesn't reveal much about it?
