You need to get the crown removed and then get the decay taken care of then most likely you need a new crown
most of the time that crown needs to be re moved and may be yohu,ll need a new one after properly taken all the decay out and replaicing it with build up permanent matetrial, also you,ll be very lucky if a root canal may not be needed
This is an urgent matter risking loosing your crown and breaking the tooth that may result in needing to have the tooth extracted. Consult with your dentist as soon as possible so they could check your tooth and give you the appropriate treatment plan.
