Get rid of the root canal keeping it in is just silly.
Call Dr. Doug Cook in Suring Wisconsin and ask him if your root canal is infected (he will say yes), Then ask him about implants ( he is against implants) and then ask him where you can find a good biological dentist and he will tell you. You might also ask him for a good doc-he knows every good dentist and doctor in the world.
Seriously-Doug saved my life-I have been in his chair many times and see him tomorrow morning-you wont find a more knowlegeable dentist or a kinder man anywhere.
