I had to get a root canal because I broke my bottom molar in the back about a month\u00a0ago eating a hard popcorn kernal.\u00a0 After I got the crown<\/a>, I knew immediately that it didn’t feel like my usual bite. The dentist ground it down a little, but I left that day with it still being off.\u00a0 He said it would get better. I let it got for a week, but every time I would bite or clench my teeth together, they just didn’t fit. So I went back in to have him fix it, but he was really hesitant to grind much more, saying I just need to get used to “my new bite.” Does it weaken the crown to grind it down? I just can’t figure out why my dentist won’t fix how my teeth fit together.<\/p>\n

Dear Preston,<\/p>\n

It’s not fun to have to get a root canal and crown, but it’s even more frustrating to have your occlusion, or bite, feel off.\u00a0 Because eating is essential, it’s not like you can just avoid biting and chewing. Correcting the bite is a routine part of placing a crown. If your dentist is hesitating, it may mean that either he doesn’t know how to fix it or is uncomfortable to do so.<\/p>\n

How dentists correct the bite on your crown<\/h3>\n

Your bite will never feel exactly the way it did with your original tooth. The dentist can shape the contour to match it as closely as possible. Dentists use a special registration paper to have you “tap tap” your teeth together. This helps them see what parts of the tooth are hitting before the other parts. They can then grind down those spots. It’s doesn’t weaken the crown to fix those small spots.<\/p>\n

You can give yourself some more time to try to adjust to your crown. If you continue to\u00a0 experience discomfort, you will need to do something. It’s not good for your jaw to have your bite off. You could try to see your dentist again, but if he was uncomfortable or not knowledgable to do it right the first time, it may not end well . You may need to see another dentist to fix it.<\/p>\n
