Crown no contact

Hi

I had a crown placed on a lower first molar. After using for 8 months,
I felt the   opposite upper tooth were painful. I went to the dentist.
He said the crown may too high and it was common. so he shave some on
the outer edge.

But after that, I felt the pain shifted to the upper premolar. And I
put a small piece of paper on the molar and bite down. The paper can
be easily pull out unless I fold the piece of paper twice and make it
4-layer thick. It seems the molar did not contact with upper tooth
closely. I think it is because the dentist shave the tooth.

Is this OK if there is no touch between the molar and opposite tooth?
For the  premolar pain, should I wait for a period of time, like 1 or
2 month to let the teeth adopt to new positions?

I definitely don't want to go too much work on my teeth since there
are already many fillings. I already regret very much that I have the
crown filed. It may only a temporary problem. And the fixing generated
a new problem on my good teeth.

Can anyone please give me a suggest whether I need to have the crown
replaced? Any how much tooth loss will cause for the crown
replacement?

Thanks

    Ordinarily, lack of contact with the opposing tooth will NOT cause
pain; too much contact will.  Also, if there is a small space generally
the opposing tooth will eventually erupt to contact anyway.
    In any case, the interval of 8 months between placement of the crown
and the pain suggests to me that there is a good chance something else
if going on--and from your own description the upper premolar is a good
place to start looking.  I suggest you not try to self-diagnose this.

Do you mean the opposing tooth will grow to until it meets the bottom
tooth?

Thanks

    Generally, yes.  Of course, if there is something else wrong with the
bite, or if you only contact on a few back teeth, you may well
accommodate your bite somewhat.  Usually a quick look by the dentist
will show what's happening.

Thanks for you answer, Steve.
As I understand the tooth cannot grow bigger after eruption, right ?
To meet the opposite tooth, does the tooth actually move outwards ?
Will this make the tooth loose or earlier falloff?

Suppose the dentist filed too much, how to fix it now? Technically
should outer edge of the lower crown have contact with upper teeth?
