Why Does My Dental Crown Feel Different?

Your Mouth Is Getting Used To The Crown

Before the crown was placed you knew how that tooth felt. Now there is a material sitting where part of your natural tooth used to be. So even a fitted crown can feel different for a while.

A Different Shape Can Feel Bigger

Sometimes the crown simply has a shape from your old tooth. That is normal to notice at first. A crown is made to restore the tooth. It does not always feel exactly like the original tooth did.

When The Crown Feels Different Because Of Your Bite

A crown that feels slightly unusual is one thing. A crown that feels like it touches first when you close your mouth is different.

When A Different Feeling Needs A Check

• Pain when you bite especially if it feels sharp of just a little sensitive needs a dental check.

• A crown that feels loose is something to take seriously. It needs to be looked at before it moves more.

• Sensitivity to hot or cold that keeps coming can mean there is a problem under the crown so mention it.

• Your bite feels uneven. You keep biting on the crowned tooth first. That is a reason to call the dentist instead of waiting.
