The problem is that as long as the tooth is present, the infection will be present. So I'm thinking he is reluctant to suggest that you have that tooth out especially since the rc was just done 10 mths ago.
Have you emailed the holistic dentist yet?

No not as yet, but I definitely will soon. He didn't actually probe along next to the tooth, it was in the tooth like when they clean stuff out, & it was very tender, I don't notice it much when chewing as it's right up the back. If it is infected should that have shown up on that cone scan thing ?
