Never had a crown done before so forgive me if my questions are silly.
First... is it normal for the dentist to grind the opposite tooth? He didn't tell me he was going to do that, but I can tell because... it's basically rounded and kind of gritty.
Second, it's been almost two weeks since the crown and the thing is still sensitive to pretty much everything but warm temperatures.
Cold hurts like a mother... goes away after a few seconds but OW!
And if I bite on it, the pressure hurts but not badly.
Also depending on how my jaw comes together, I can feel a high spot in the back left toward the outside of my mouth.... feeling it in there it almost feels like the thing is slightly angled in toward my mouth.
I'd be grateful for any insight.
