Why don't my teeth on the opposite side of my new crown touch?

Asked By:askepp in Dayton, OH

I just got my only stainless steel crown and it's on my molar. My teeth on the opposite side of my mouth don't touch now. When I look at the inside of my mouth the crown goes in at least a half size bigger than my tooth into the roof of my mouth. It's only been four days and I'm already smelling and tasting a bad odor.
