New dental crown
I got a new dental lower tooth crown placed today. The bite is ok, no sharp edges, mo high points too.. but i feel a little discomforted ! Is this normal? How long does it takes a new crown to settle in mouth and feel normal? I did not had any rct, that was fine, just got an old cap replaced and gums were ok before placement! So no chance of any infection which was underlying! How do I differentiate if this discomfort is normal or the crown doesn't fit properly?

When you get used to some artificial thing in your mouth it takes some time to settle with the new one.Any crown takes 3-4 days sometimes a week and you eventually gets adjusted to.Nothing to worry about.

Hi,
It will take a few days to settle. If after a week you still experience discomfort, visit your dentist again.

It may take 5-7 days to get normal.
Even after that if you feel discomfort, do visit your dentist for physical evaluation.

Some discomfort after placement of a new crown is normal. It may take a week or more for you to adjust to your new crown.
