Yes the crown can be done now,,but first I shall take a n Xray before initiating any treatment to know why the root canal treated tooth is paining after such a long time. Kindly book an appointment .

Get it checked from dentist. He might take an x Ray and may advise you core build up filling of the tooth n crown, if everything is fine on x Ray.

If the tooth is mobile, you have to visit your dentist and get it checked. Sudden mobility can be due to fracture of the crown. Further treatment will be based on clinical and x-ray findings.

Since the tooth is causing you trouble and is mobile too, first get a radiograph done to assess the reason. If reinfected, Re RCT needs to be done. Otherwise a crown can be made after ruling out any periodontal (gum related) issue.

The first step would be to visit a root canal specialist ( endodontist). An x Ray has to be taken of the involved tooth. If there is an infection inside or you have lost the top filling of the tooth for a considerable time then Re RCT has to be done, which usually takes a couple of appointments. I would advise you not to bite hard on the involved side as the tooth/crown is mobile. Following Re RCT, a cap is usually indicated to preserve the structural integrity of the tooth and increase its longevity. Good luck.
