Call the office asap and let them know your symptoms!.
You don't want to have the permanent crown put in if there is an underlying problem with your gum tissue!. Most likely, they will put you on an antibiotic like Amoxicillin 500mg!. for an infection, and have you take Advil or similar for reducing inflammation!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
