First thing to do is to visit your dentist and see if your bite needs to be fine tuned to create a proper balance. Also they can check if something is stuck in the gums around the crown and clean it up. Lastly if the pain does not go away after these adjustments, the tooth may have a cracked, decay may have spread to the nerve and the tooth may need Root canal therapy or extraction.
