Hello,
If you are having pain in the particular tooth which is crowned, it means there can be an abscess below the tooth because of infection, it can also be possible that the crown is impinging on the gums, but it can only be confirmed in an x - ray.
I think you should visit your dentist and get the x - ray done for the problem.
Hope it will help you.

Hello,
Soreness around crowned tooth may be due to inflammation of gums as a result of poor oral hygiene maintenance.
I would advice you to get a thorough scaling done by a dentist.
Use chlorhexidine mouthrinses as well as interdental toothbrush to clean your teeth.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Sore gums can occur due to-diabetes, drugs administered for treating epilepsy,autoimmune disorder.
If symptoms persists,please do visit a dentist.
Take care.
