Temporary crown in mouth hurts a lot had it in for a about a couple weeks or more top and bottom of mouth.hurts bad tried otc meds no help?

A few possibilities: The cement under the temporary may be washing away, giving you sensitivity on that tooth, and pain radiating to other teeth/opposite arch. It may also be that the nerve is going bad/has gone bad in that tooth. Have your dentist check it out immediately and before any crown is placed. Feel better soon....

Possible causes: The temporary crown margins or excess cement could be irritating the gum tissues, preparing the tooth for the crown may have resulted in the prepared surface being extremely close to the pulpal tissues that could be causing pain. Another possibility could be that your crown may be too high and you are biting with more pressure on the tooth. You should see your dentist for evaluation.

The bite may be high: Have your dentist check the occlusion on the tooth, if you are getting a throbbing pain the tooth may need endodontic therapy.

Temp high: 1. Temp crown has primary occlusal trauma is one possible problem. 2. Microleakage exposing nerve 3. Nerve degeneration which may require root canal.

Your bite may need t: Your bite may need to be adjusted on your crown/temporary crown.

Temporay: A tooth with a temporary can hurt for several reasons. At first the tooth will be sensitive because you had any treatment. For longer lasting pain the temp might be high or ill fitting. A tooth needs a crown for a reason it coud be the nerve was effected before the crown was prepared, in this case a root canal would be needed to stop the pain. Call your dentist to exam it.

Ask your dentist: There are several reasons why your tooth in temporary is hurting, you need to go back to your dentist and have him/her check it out. Even excess cement, high spots, open margins, etc. May cause pain... If it was a deep decay removal prep to begin with, your dentist might have already warned you about it being sensitive, you may need root canal, ask your dentist.
