Post op sensitivity: How long has it been since crowns were cemented in? Were they sensitive before? Short term sensitivity to cold is not uncommon. Sensitivity to hot ismore indicative of possible irreversible nerve damage. Ask you own dentist what you should expect? Why? And for how long? If it persists or worsens, you may need rct.

Check their bite: since a high bite can be irritating to the ligaments holding a tooth and can even cause sensitivity to cold and hot. See your dentist and check the bite.
