Question:
Crown Failure and Filing Adjacent Teeth: My dentist put a crown on my tooth and it broke.

He then made one in his office. I think it was too big and he filed down a good tooth next to it in order to get this crown on my tooth.

Now the good tooth that was next to it, which he filed down, has a very sharp edge and I feel bits of it are breaking of. What can I do? ...Visitor from IN

Answer:
It seems from your narrative, a temporary crown was placed to cover the tooth that had a broken crown.

Did the dentist schedule you for a new impression to replace the broken crown? Get a second opinion from a local dentist.

It is possible the dentist reduced the tooth next to the crown becaused there was an overly large white filling in that tooth. The sharp edge might be from that filling.
