No, not like that! I got a crown on my rearmost left bottom molar (17) it was a wholly unpleasant experience. The worst part was the taste! Something they used almost made me puke.

I have two. I know the feel.

Just remember, you have 5 years, starting now. If the crown ever falls out or has a problem, talk to your dentist about getting it replaced. After 5 years you pay out of pocket in full for it.

I have a crown that fell out 3 times. Unfortunately, it’s been more than 5 years, and I’m screwed. Crowns are expensive, so is getting them replaced.

Do you know what your dentist used to secure it? There’s a water based adhesive, and something else that’s typically referred to as cement. The water based one lasted a couple of days for me. Give the crown several weeks to really settle before you chew on it, and the second you feel it start moving around, get in touch with your dentist because it will absolutely come out, just a matter of time.
