The dentist placed a temp bridge but that felt too tight. I was given another temp but am having issues- a) I am having pain on pressing the canine with my lower teeth B) my lower teeth and upper are banging when I speak c) my jaw hurts as if not closing properly d) my speech is impacted.

Should I make sure my temp is 100% fine then give final impression
