Dear Joe, The dentist is a holistic dentist and he did clean the infection after, he has trained in the states with hal huggins, I just think that you cant tell if your going to still deal with an infection afterwards , he says that its becacse I have cfs and my immunity is low, but I dont know about this as I had another extraction of a previous root canal done with him a year ago when I was more ill than I am now and that one was fine and healed ok. So I just think you take the risk when you get work like this done, Regards Lynn
