RCT or extraction both the decisions are depend on your tooth condition.
If the mobility is grade -1 than RCT also can be successful but if the mobility is more , than the tooth may go for extraction.
Success of RCT is also depend on the infection present in your tooth .
Share your radiographs first, for further treatment plan.

Looseness or mobility of teeth can be due to any injury or loss of supporting tissues because of gum disease.
It’s not clear from your description whether you have decay in your teeth or not.
Next Steps
Please consult a gum specialist/ periodontist who can properly diagnose your problem.
