If my crowns were pushed into my gums too hard can this cause inflammation? (Photo)

Asked By:esantolu in Metairie, Louisiana

Crowns on the 2 front teeth cemented 4 mos ago.I've had inflamed gums since.Scan and xray were done and dentist reports they fit well.Dentist really pushed hard when cementing them in.I can feel a ridge in the back of the left.The left used to be more inflamed, now the right is inflamed more.Some soreness at gumline on back of crowns.Seems they get more irritated after I eat.Gums never attached to the teeth. Should I re-do crowns?Had temps and perm crowns prior to these and not this problem.
