Cracked tooth - temp crown not helped

[Bob22]

I've got a cracked molar and the dentist suggested a crown. He's now put on the temp crown but the symptoms still persist...in fact i think he made it worse. If i eat any food on this temp crown (nothing hard) is still hurts. Should i wait until the permanent crown or is that not normal and the procedure has failed?

Sometimes teeth hurt more after they are prepared for a crown and it can take months before they calm down. Sometimes when there is a crack in a tooth, you need to do an additional procedure (a root canal). If a root canal and crown is done and the tooth still hurts, there may be nothing more to do but remove it, unfortunately. You might wait 2-3 more weeks with the temporary and see if it starts to calm down before proceeding.
