It may be due to if there is some space between crown and adjecent tooth .. Food collects between that space and when u press with excess pressure it hurts on ur gums...

There may be slight gap between the crown and the adjacent tooth resulting in little food impaction and irritation. Floss there regularly and if if there is an issue ask your doctor if you need to replace the crown

hi
Since you are saying that there is no bone loss and RCT seems fine,sometimes over extended crown margins cause this discomfort. Neverthless,its better to wait and watch.
