yeah, it is not very comfortable

i put the "piece of metal" comment in there for you guys to see, i was
wondering if that was something "normal" for dentists to use, because
the 2 crowns that i have had b4 i was always given a temporary crown
which was some sort of white material, carefully shaped/fitted for my
tooth, whereas this was just a piece of metal that he jammed on there
and it sticks out on the sides, even catches on my cheek

still it feels better than having nothing there - for the first time in
2 weeks i was able to eat a meal tonight almost normally, no pains from
hot/cold things touching the tooth & i had a surface to chew against

thanks amatus & steve for your comments
