The tissue is growing too large for the crown, it's very common. It happens alot with teen crowns and with braces. Easy fix so don't be freaked out by it. But you have to tell your mom and have to get it fixed as soon as possible. It will only get worse and more uncomfortable. The doc will either make you a new crown or remove some of the tissue growing. (Which is easy, like clipping cuticles) You gotta remember you got the crown put on when you were a little kid with little teeth and mouth. Your teeth, jaw, tissue, and gums are growing along with the rest of you.

You really need to get into the dentist even if you have to go in under a emergency, Because it sounds like you have a abscess the doctor will give you anti-biotic to get rid of the abscess then treat the problem the dentist will take a x ray if you act tomorrow you will be fine if you let it go it will get painful. Good luck

Try a waterpic. Food trapped between teeth or below the gumline can cause this.
