It's not uncommon to experience some discomfort or sensitivity after getting a crown fitted on a root canal-treated tooth. The tooth and surrounding tissues may need some time to adjust to the new restoration. There could be a few reasons why you are still unable to eat comfortably with the crowned tooth: Sensitivity: It is possible that the tooth and surrounding tissues are still sensitive from the root canal treatment and crown placement. This sensitivity should gradually diminish over time, but if it persists or becomes severe, it's advisable to contact your dentist for further evaluation. Bite Adjustment: Sometimes, the crown may need some minor adjustments to ensure proper alignment and occlusion (how your teeth fit together when you bite). If the crown is too high or interfering with your bite, it can cause discomfort while chewing. In such cases, a simple bite adjustment by your dentist can often resolve the issue. Inflammation or Infection: Although rare, it is possible for the tooth to develop inflammation or infection even after root canal treatment. This can cause discomfort and may require additional treatment. If you experience persistent pain, swelling, or other signs of infection, it is essential to contact your dentist as soon as possible. I recommend contacting your dentist and discussing your symptoms and concerns. They will be able to evaluate your specific situation, perform any necessary adjustments, and determine if further treatment is required.

it is possible for a crown fitted on a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment (RCT) to cause pain or discomfort. Reasons for this can include bite alignment issues, infection or residual infection, nerve irritation, or allergic reactions. It is important to consult a dentist to determine the cause of the pain.

Crowns often take time to adjust in our oral cavity , so little discomfort is completely normal . However, if the discomfort exceeds 10 days or more , then do visit the dentist for diagnosis of the issue.
