I'm biting down hard on my tooth. Why is this and will this annoyance go away so I can eat normally again?

Hi, it sounds to me that it is still a bit high. You need to go back to your dentist to get it adjusted. When he goes to adjust it, make sure that you bite down on the paper and grind your teeth side to side so that the paper marks the area that is high you might have to repeat the process again and again on that visit until its right for you ok.. There should be no charge for that visit.
