If you haven't had a root canal done, then maybe that's what you need because a pulp could be exposed. Also, it could be that the crown is high and needs to be adjusted. It's normal to have sensitivity for about a week after having a new crown placed but if it's longer you should go back to your dentist and get it checked out. It really depends.

It might have to be "ground down" a little so it is not getting direct, biting pressure (you know, that paper they stick in your mouth and tell you to grind your teeth for a second to see how the new work is hitting the tooth on the opposite side of your mouth). I had mild pain for a long time and eventually had to get a root canal in the same tooth where the crown had been put earlier. In my experience with a crown, this is normal.

If Ibuprofen is doing the trick you probably will not need any further treatment. If however the pain increases then return to the dentist and have an x-ray taken to check there is no abcess.
