When they put a crown on, they give you the temp crown. Then you come back to get the perm crown. Now the temp was on, my tooth was fine. But now after they put the perm on, my tooth is little sensitive. Is this normal and will this go away?

Very normal for the tooth to be sensitive for a few days, especially to cold. It's tender now because they were probably taking the perm. crown off and on while they were adjusting the bite. It can also become sensitive due to the glue they use to seat your crown. Give it a few days and if it's not better by next week, give them a call. It could be a sign that the crown is still a little too tall to the bite.

Yes, same exact thing happened to me. I thought I would feel more with the temporary, but I felt nothing with it, and I forgot all about it. But three weeks later they took it off and, "Yeow!," it felt like Marathon Man (a movie you have to see with Dustin Hoffman :) ).
The permanent went on and it felt huge. Once the shot wore off, I felt everything, but most all of that went away after a couple days. For a week the tooth felt like it was shrinking to normal size , and then I realized it fit perfectly. For a few months after that, I only felt it here and there with cold, heat, or presure .
Now I hardly ever notice it at all except maybe once or twice a year, with hot coffee or ice cream right on it, . The thing is, where the temporary was not feeling at all, the permanent actually feels like a real tooth, in that I can feel through it as I can with the other teeth. So yes, that's normal...And yes, over time things will get back to normal. :)

It may just be you teeth shifting to adjust to your crown. It takes a few days, but eventually the sensitivity goes away. Especially since you just got it put on. You may still be thinking about it being there. In a week you won't even realize it's there.

From personal experience, it shouldn't. When they put on my perm crown, they didn't file down the crown enough and it was grinding on my top teeth. Might want to call them. Mine was so bad that my whole lower jaw on that side was throbbing. Hope it doesn't get that bad! I went back the next morning and they filed it down. Just sore that day and no pain since.

Give it a day or two, but no more. Try Advil for this period, but only a couple of days. You might need to have the bite checked again.

Yes, I think it is normal and will subside. Did they numb your mouth when they changed caps? The nerve will settle, but if not give them a call.

Yes. The sensitivity is probably from the dentist working around the gum. It will fade.
