When the dentist placed my dental crown (he filed down the top tooth that would bite on it and now my bottom teeth have moved (the dental crown was placed on the bottom and the top teeth have shifted because one side has more pressure, is this something to be worried about?
I had a dental crown placed and now my teeth are moving.?
It sounds like your just concerned that he adjusted an upper tooth when the crown was seated on the lower. It is very common to do this especially if the upper tooth is super erupted or has sharp cusp tips. There really is no need to be concerned, what felt like half the tooth being removed was really more like polishing the cusp tips of the occluding tooth to keep you from fracturing the porcelain on the new crown, or breaking the cusp tip of the upper tooth. If you feel that your bite is off, one side hits before the other, then you may need an adjustment made. You may just want to call and let the Dentist check your bite and relay your worries to him/her. The Dentist will be able to explain it more thoroughly to you. Good luck and don't worry, your teeth aren't moving.
Reply:So let's see... you see your dentist, go thru all that dental work and office visits, but you choose to ask on Yahoo Answers if this new development is an issue...LOL. Just kidding.
It could be an issue over time. I had a similar issue a while back. See your dentist.
Reply:You didn't mention where in the mouth the crown was placed and you didn't mention what material the crown is made of
