Asked By:djsands

I just had my permanent crown attached yesterday and today I noticed a little metal showing on the chewing surface, right near the front edge. Due to my bite, my dentist had to do some grinding to seat it properly. Is there any fix for this or do I need a new crown or should I not worry about it? The metal showing is a about the size or a pencil head.
