I went to the dentist for a simple filling replacement about six months ago. It was pure agony. My face swole up, and my pain skyrocketed for about two weeks. I do not think it is safe to have either the root canal or extraction, but I have to don something at this point. I am terrified that the RSD will spread to my face.
On top of that, I have called about a hundred dentist (endodontist, oral surgeons) and NONE of them will take me as a patient. I need to do something. Please help.

Good Morning,
I had a bad tooth a couple years ago that needed to come out, and under the advice of my RSD doc, it was done by an oral surgeon (familiar with RSD) at the hospital and under anesthesia (sp?) I didnt have any problems afterwards. Have you asked your RSD doc for a recommendation to an oral surgeon, usually they know who to entrust their patients to.
For me personally, any major dental work will be done this way
feel better soon
