[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 361889, member: 1963"] I've never had a root canal, but I've never heard of a dentist doing work on an infected tooth either. They fear driving the infection further into the bone or even into the bloodstream. I know that when I had to have an abscessed (cracked through root) tooth pulled a while back, I had Occupational Therapist (OT) do a ten day course of antibiotics and use pain medications until the tooth was no longer "hot". Also, it is impossible, for chemical reasons, to properly numb an infected tooth. I think it is due to Ph differences but am not sure. [/QUOTE]
