Root canal can be started after evaluating how much of the tooth structure is remaining and since it is long standing infection it might require 2-3 sittings, you must consult a dentist asap otherwise it may lead to pus formation and swelling.

Please don't wait further and get RCT and crowning done. It's got infected now which is causing u pain. Further delay might cause lots of tooth structure n the term will become more weak and u might not b able to save it n will have to get it extracted

Get the tooth evaluated by a dentist. If it’s decayed since a more than a year, it might need root canal treatment. It is possible not to have pain but it can pain anytime food gets stuck. Get it treated before the tooth fractures and no other option is left other than removing it.
