I have a gap between my two lower end molars, had crown put in on second last molar but it was made bigger to cover the gap?

1. Will this increase the chance of tooth decay as the food debris can get lodged under the gap of the extended crown? 2. Is this a normal practice to make a bigger crown to cover gap between tooth?
