Extreme Tooth Pain Under Temp. Crown

[isubird04]

I'm having some serious pain on the temporary crown I had put on about 4 days ago.  It was put on my left upper incisor.  I chipped the tooth basically in half about 6 weeks ago and a previous dentist made 2 attempts to bond it, but they never stayed.  I never experienced any pain after the bondings, only with this temporary crown.

I'm not senstive to cold or hot, and as a matter of fact cold water helps a lot!!  The pain is so bad that I can barely touch the crowned tooth because it hurts so much.  The dentist that put it on said he doesnt think I'll need a root canal.  I was also experience extensive jaw pain the last few days, but that's basically subsided and now the pain is centralized on this tooth.  Any help on what the issue could be would be greatly appreciated as well as any pain reduction remedies until I can get back to the dentist.

did they take a new xray? did they check the bite to see if it were high? you should not be having this kind of pain if the tooth is "fine".
