I can feel my crowns - is this normal after root canals? I can feel the edge to my crown on the front tooth - normal? (Photo)

Asked By:ashleybrewer in Ko Samui, TH

I had 3 root canals done and the crowns put in on my two front teeth and one neighboring tooth. The bite has always felt a bit off but now I'm worried that I can "feel" them. The gums seem to be fine but if I tap the crowns with my finger, I can feel it and its sensitive. How is this possible when I had 3 root canals in all those teeth? Also, I went to push up on my gums on one of the front teeth and noticed I can feel the edge of the top of the crown. Will these signs/symptoms ever go away?
