Hello,
The cap need not be removed as the reason for the discomfort maybe a high occlusal point.
Next Steps
You need to visit your Dentist so that he could reduce the high point slightly.

Hello sir 🙏 . you need some time at least 3 -4 days to get habituated to the cap cemented . while fixing your cap your dentist will check the high points on your cap . As something new one came into your mouth you might feel bit discomfort for 3 -4 days . check for 3 -4 days if incase still you are feeling the same discomfort then you visit your dentist , then they will reduce the height of your cap based on your comfort . But don't concentrate completely on that side where the cap is placed . chew on both sides then only you will get habituated to that .
Thank you .

Hello, Good morning sir
When a cap is cemented on the tooth there is some discomfort for a day or so . Because patient is not use to with the cap.
If it is discomfort than it will get normal in a day or so .
But as you say its hurting your opposing tooth or during chewing it creates pressure on your opposing tooth than must be there is some high point in your cap.
Visit your dentist, and after clinical examination your dentist will resolve your problem.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist for the corrections.

High occlusal point could he the reason of that discomfort. Check if all of your teeth on the left and right arch are meeting properly or not. Crown doesn’t need to be removed. The doctor will check the high points and reduce them.
Next Steps
Visit the Dentist for the treatment.
Health Tips
Avoid eating from that particular side until you get the high points removed.

As per discription, your mouth needs some time to adjust once the crown/cap fixed, but if you feel the same discomfort even after 3-4 days please consult the dentist.

You need to visit your dentist for a check up. If your cap is hitting upper teeth prematurely. Then some high point must be there. Your dentist will reduce that high point. It will get better.
