Hi, I went to my dentist back in February and I was told I had a broken tooth with a deep decayed so I had a crown done. A month after, I started to feel some discomfort on my tooth that comes and go. I went to another dentist and I was told that my crown was done wrong. That I have a gap between my crown and my tooth. Is this true? And what should I do since I recently had the crown done? Xray below. Thanks
