I had a permanent crown put on my back tooth on Friday and it is Tuesday. It feels tight. If I close my teeth at all, it hurts

Asked By:jennll in Salt Lake City, UT

The pain is not a cold or hot pain it hurts to bite down it feels like the tooth is a little bigger then the rest. The pain is tolerable with ibprophen and I have had no problem sleeping. Can this be resolved on its own? Do I have to go to the dentist? If they have to remove the crown will I get a shot because of how sesitive it is?
