You may have existing decay under or around the crown that may not have reached the nerve.





Or it may be a piece of meat (food) stuck under a margin or something.





I would see my dentist to be sure.
Reply:You could have an abscess under the crown. That happened to me 2 years ago. It spread to my sinus and it took a month to clear up the infection. I had to have a root canal through the crown.
