Hi Ellie,
You poor thing, that sounds like a never-ending problem. It has escalated to headaches and other infections now because the root of the problem has not been resolved. Yes, you are right, it is a bacterial overgrowth which is what an abcess is. It will continue to grow again when the course of Antibiotics terminates.

Why I say no Antibiotics , but your dentist says Yes?.....Ah good question. Antibiotic therapy is what they are taught in dental school for infectons and abcesses. It is the quick fix. It also depresses your immune system so that abcesses can occur. Immunity is no game. If you have tooth problems to begin with then your immune system was already low!!! (because only 1 or 2 bacteria out of thousands in your mouth cause cavities) If you get yeast infections or not after this course of Antibiotics , I assure you that you have a candida overgrowth already. (Its just a natural thing that happens because it is already there in small amounts to begin with, but with all the good bacteria gone that keep it in balance, it multiplies quickly.) Don't worry, Fungal Defense by Garden of life will get it out!

Your sinus infections, headaches, sensitivities will all go away once you clean your system. Read my post that says "Everybody". Check out Bernard Jensen 's books on bowel care, Heal thyself by Jordan Rubin, and Miracle2 website.

Its not that hard, really, and when your done you'll be able to stay healthy much easier.

Get well,
Gracie

Chances are that your non-bio dentist will want you to re-do the root canal. root canals are money generators for dentists that are not aware of the risks of root canals or do not believe that they cause any problems. Crowns are another source of income generators for dentists. An unethical non-bio dentist will suggest root canal and crown, before doing a re-fill with non-metal materials for purpose of filling his pockets. I don't know if you are aware of the work of Dr. Price and root canals. If you are not, do some research on the toxicity of root canals. By the sounds of what you are describing, you definitely have a problem with that root canaled tooth. There are links on this site that you can go to find more info on root canal toxicity. Below is a link to a site with some info on root canal toxicity. If you are quite sure it is that tooth and the dentist can comfirm it, you may want to consider extraction from a bio-dentist. I have 2 root canals and am considering extracting them.
