Capping is not comfortable
Hi Dr. Bagchi,
The capping you fixed on my tooth after the root canal treatment is not comfortable. It feels like a loose tooth, but its firm at its place. I am not just able to put any mild pressure on that tooth as I still feel as if it is an open site.
Please suggest. Its also been 10 days of capping.

Hi
If you are not able to visit your dentist.
Chew chewing gums or have eclairs, it will help you to remove the crown.
Once the crown is removed visit your dentist and get it rechecked and refused.

Cap isn't occluded properly. Just get it removed and replace it with a new or repaired one. Happens sometimes. Don't worry, easy procedure.

The cap must come in close contact with the opposing teeth, this can be checked with a dentist using articulating paper. If there is gap you will probably need to change the cap. There is also a possibility that because of premature contact on the cap you are not able to close or bite properly. In that case one may be able to correct your existing cap and make you more comfortable.
