Possibly: Not a pinched nerve. A number of common factors: a bit of cement can be caught under the gum tissue, or the contact between the crown and the adjacent teeth may be light, causing food impaction. Have your treating dentist take a look.

See your dentist: The most common causes are debris lodged under the gum line or cement overhangs. See your dentist for evaluation and adjustment.
