I am especially looking for articles written from Dr. S or any others (I know my friend Michael is the best at this research). I have looked on the basic rsds sites and found basic letters about how to care for your teeth but I need more in-depth info. I know (as well as everyone here) that rsd and opioids cause severe (and expensive) tooth decay...but I just have to prove it to the dental ins now so they will pay for my root canal.
Thanks all,

Be very careful with root canals. I unfortunately had a CRPS spread to my jaw after a root canal. I had not yet been diagnosed with CRPS. My dentist will be referring me to a local dental school should I require additional root canals, which will be done with appropriate pre surgery blocks. Please consult some of the literature regarding root canals and spread. A good place to start is Hooshmand's website.
Take Care!
