Please read all that you can find on root canals. They are TOXIC! It is dead. Your body is fighting a dead tooth. It is a 24/7 drip of toxins. Since you put your health problems right after the root canal, it would make sense to get rid of it!!! Don't hesitate to do this. Your immune system is being challenged daily. Don't wait until it is too late. A compromised immune system is not a good thing.
