Will I have to get a whole new temporary crown made if the temp crown is too low or will the dentist be able to fix this?

Asked By:queenamylilbty in Encino, CA

I had a two temporary crowns put in on teeth 13 &14 a week an half ago. At first they were too high so 2 days later I went in for an adjustment, which I thought felt perfect until about 20mins after I left when I bite my tongue. So obviously my temp crown is too low now as I continue to bite my tongue when I talk and I have pain in my jaws and across my cheekbones. I would hate to go thru the whole process again, the smell and pain were "not the thang" :(
