I had a second root canal done on an old root canal because it had become infected. Second root canal didn't eliminate infection. I read Byranne's (SP?) information on the subject and decided to have the tooth removed. That was done today. I asked the doctor if he cleaned the area out, but in looking at it, I don't see that he did. It is the most horrible looking thing. Now this is GROSS, but I have a hole in my mouth filled with puss and no instructions on how to get rid of it other than a 3rd round of anti-biotics. Can anyone help me?
