Can a new crown cause headaches, pressure in ear and sensitivity if too thick?

Hello there,Your symptoms suggest that there may be an issue with your bite. I would recommend having your bite re-evaluated. In some cases, more than one adjustment is necessary. Contact your dentist as soon as possible to address this issue. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO area (O'Fallon, IL)Real Self 100

Dear tigger23,What you're describing sounds
like bite issues. If the crown is too high, over time, it could cause all the
symptoms that you're mentioning. You should consult your dentist, especially if
your temporary crown caused no pain or discomfort.
