I got it taken care of just now. "Textbook high occlusion" is what the dentist said. When my bite settled in with the new crown it was shifted slightly and it caused one spot to hit first by a tiny margin but that is enough. He took a little off (it was a cap) and now my bite feels sold again.

Then I had to be proactive, which good but it sucks. He offered me a muscle relaxer prescription since it had led to clinching. I had to tell him to make a note in my chart while I am a reasonable person - I have a substance use disorder so no pain meds, no muscle relaxers or anything else that might be fun to have around.

I keep on keepin' on...
