I'm wondering how long should dental crown pain last?

No Pain Crown: If the gums around the tooth supporting the crown is still raw, e.g. Due to crown lengthening, it should be better in 3 days if done with a laser-depending on the condition. If pain is coming from the tooth and is still tender to temperature and pressure after 3 days, call your dentist.

Pain after crown: Sensitivity is not uncommon after a crown is placed. If this goes away, 6-8 weeks, then tooth is recovering and getting back to normal. However, the transition from temperature sensitivity to constant pain is a bad sign. There is a chance you are going to need an endodontic treatment. See your dentist for re-evaluation. Good luck.

Common: Common after crown placement. Should gradually improve over 1-2 months. If persist, or worsen, see dentist.
