What Causes Pain In Teeth While Eating After Placing Crown?

I had a crown placed on my tooth back in August. It is now February and my tooth hurts only when i eat. I can clamp down, or even grind that tooth but I only feel pain when I eat. Is it possible the crown fell out? If so, wouldn't I have visibly seen it or at least felt it? Please help.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the tooth where it has been crowned could be because of the secondary tooth infection if the tooth is not root canal treated. If the tooth is root canal treated, the other possible cause could be because of the gum infection. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out all these things. If it is tooth infection, get the tooth treated with RCT and repeat the crown. If it is a gum infection, then get the teeth cleaned once.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
