Usually one week after the delivery of a crown pain is gone. If it lasts longer than that go see your dentist
Hi,

Generally the amount of trauma inflicted on the gums during a crown preparation is minimal. It depends on the condition of the tooth ie. Extent of fracture, decay, etc., and the health of the gums. Healthy gums will heal quick in a couple of days or even less. If the crown is prepared above the gum level, then no injury to the gums at all. If the preparation is far below the gum level, you may require some gum work and this may heal in a week to ten days.
Hope this helped.
If your gums are irritated, you can rinse with warm, salty water. It helps gums heal and, depending on your overall health, it should heal in 5-7 days.
The gum shouldn’t be needing any healing period unless surgery was done.
Getting a crown does not necessarily damage gums. But in any case, gums heal quickly in a few days.

Usually it takes only a day or so. The gum tissues repair and heal very rapidly versus other tissues of the body.
There is typically no healing period after a crown that I make. There may be some slight sensitivity for a day or two, but anything else may be due to a different dental procedure.
I hope this is helpful for you.
Usually just a few days after the permanent crown is cemented. Salt water rinses are helpful, especially when the preparation has to be done below the gums.
