Hi Heffe.

I have had alot of dental work done since my diagnosis of RSD. I was afraid of the spread, but my pm dr, neurologist and dentist told me they didn't think it would be a problem. None of them know for sure, because there is not much known about this disease yet. I had a failed root canal had the tooth pulled. I had no choice. The pain was unbearable and it was also infected.

Had alot of dry sockets from it and it took forever to heal, but it did heal and I didn't see any spread of my RSD because of it. I"ve also had a crown put on another tooth recently, and it was very painful while in the process, so I started asking my dentist to numb the heck out of it first, and that seemed to help. I didn't have a spread with that so far either.

Since I am not a doctor, I would suggest she ask all her doctors what they think is the best approach, so that she can make an informed decision.

Hope I helped and I hope she feels better soon, and please tell her I said hi.
