Have you ever had a crown done at the dentist?

I had the temporary one put on last week and I get the permanent one next week. This thing feels like a slab of cement and it's irritating the gum something fierce! I really think dentists love to put people in pain and discomfort

Yup. Had my first a few years ago and it was miserable. They had a lot of trouble getting me numb, but felt relieved to finally have that temporary one slapped in. And yes, it feels really odd until you get your real crown.

Unfortunately for me, I had to have that sucker done twice because the first crown had a defect that wasn't caught until my next visit. And sure enough, that nerve was just as sensitive the second time around. Now that I do have my crown, I cannot tell now that it is there.
