this is weird.

I have now chewed food on the root-canaled tooth and it DIDN'T HURT OMG, which is awesome. BUT listen: from time to time there's a feeling in there that's like a weird kind of ... wiggling sensation, as if a wound-up spring had sprung. It doesn't hurt, but it's a little startling and also has the potential to make me worry the crown is going to come flying off. Any idea what's up with that?

When M had his root canal and crown, he reported a similar sensation and was told it was due to swollen gum tissue acting a little wonky and to not worry about it unless it continued for more than a couple of days. YMMV and all that, but it's the only datapoint I've got.
