RCT done on last upper molar from last week of June till July.
Got crown, after it was placed there was ton of pain when pressure applied/bite,
removed crown. Pain started to subside after considerable amount of time passed. I kept on having dental visits. Dentist asked me to wait.
It's been 5 months. I don't have crown since long - only permanent filling.
Issues now - 1 The tooth beside the one on which RCT is done, deviated from it's place since RCT, slightly down. Now it touches the bottom one when I rest my teeth and it feels uncomfortable and bulky, like an obstacle in resting teeth (sensitive). Sometimes it feels bulky while walking (even without resting).
2 Maybe its gums around the RCT teeth but I feel discomfort there. Eating all different things very comfortably, no pain. It's just when I'm sitting idle and not using teeth.
Often getting my tongue there/putting pressure on RCT teeth with finger- in an attempt to cure it. 3 Teeth itching- Feels like brushing/grinding teeth.

Hi,
You need to visit the dentist and get the crown placed again. The old crown may not fit and you will have to get a new crown made. Take an x-ray of the tooth before starting with the crown procedure.
