Hello Root canal treated tooth cannot give you throbbing pain when prepared for crown placement. Please get yourself assessed appropriately so as to localise pain. Inflammation of gums is generalized so one tooth cannot be blamed for this. Yes if you are a bruxer,even before the treatment your gums would be the same.
Next Steps
Kindly don't panic.Visit the dentist and make sure to clear all your doubts. Reason for gum redness to be checked and painful teeth must not be crowned without assessment of cause.
Health Tips
Stressing out will only worsen the outcome.
