Asked By:jayw77 in Abbeyville, Colorado

I had a root canal and crown on the number 2 tooth about a year and a half ago and have an issue that has gotten worse with clenching and is causing pain in the tooth. Is it possible to adjust the crown so there is no contact with the opposing tooth and also is it possible that Pressure from clenching on the tooth next to the crown can cause pain inthe root canal tooth?
