Be patient: After removing some hyper plastic tissue with a laser post operative discomfort should be expected for a few days. Keep the area clean and rinse with warm salt water whenever possible. You'll be fine.

Call your dentist: Post-op discomfort is not unusual right after placing a crown, but if the bite is off or if some other issue has arisen, i would call your dentist and ask questions.

This requires: This requires that you return to your dentist to have that area evaluated. We can't diagnose or properly advise you without personally seeing you, the x-rays of the area and knowing the complete course of events. It may be normal and resolve shortly or be indicative of some problem that still requires treatment.

Floss brush then see: If your gum tissue had to be laser'd before your crown was placed, there was probably an overgrowth of inflamed tissue in response to a missing, loose, or improperly contoured temporary. If your keep your new crown perfectly clean by flossing twice daily and with vibratory brushing at the gum tooth interface (no sweeping up down or back forth or in circles) and the issue doesn't resolve see dds.
