Hi Nicole,
Just to help clarify... root canaled teeth are brewing infections right from the onset. Sometimes obvious symptoms are not noticed until a few months or even years following the procedure. So keeping that information in mind, it should be easier to understand how messed up that area of the mouth (and beyond) can become by the time that infected tooth is removed. Unfortunately, most dentists never offer that information to their patients prior to performing the root canal.......perhaps they should!!
How are you feeling lately??
