Very uncomfortable with chewing on new crown.

[Northeast1]

Up until May of this year I have had no long standing dental issues. It wasn't until I had a filling on a tooth May that subsequently endured a crack in June that had to be pulled out and replaced by dentist. Ever since that time I had long standing sensitivity to cold/hot and pressure with chewing. Fast forward to the present I had to get a root canal on that tooth(Sept 23) which did help to get me out of pain. It wasn't until last week that the permanent crown was placed that I have noticed that my tooth is still very sensitive to chewing pressure. It's not an actual pain but more of an extreme soreness that has me back chewing on the other side of my mouth to avoid the discomfort. Is this normal with a new crown. I haven't known what it is like to chew on that side of my mouth since It's been more than two months of not doing so after letting the tooth calm down from the root canal and having a temporary crown in for 3 weeks.

I could tell the tooth was hitting very high on my bottom tooth causing pain so I had the dentist fix it the next day and adjust my bite. This helped tremendously but it's still sore to chew on the tooth with any kind of food. I have just been through so much with this tooth since June that I have been very disapointed in the lack of progress with getting my mouth back to normal with no pain or sensitivity. This crown also continues to feel abnormal in my mouth like it's too big and heavy. My natural teeth feel so lightweight in conjuction to this object in my mouth. He did a ton of adjusting on it before he even cemented it on permanently.

if your dentist can not solve occlusal interference of new crown, you may need to see an occlusionist or prosthodontist.
