Oh so true about the root canals...
I had a lower molar extracted with an oral surgeon.
Dentist and endo both referred me there.

Problem was consult prior to extraction was a computerized program on bone grafts and implants that I had to pay for.
No consult on my infected root canal tooth and how it would be extracted or what Block would be used as I have total body RSD.

Now I am having to do the 'sinus block' myself with 4% liquid lidocaine down my sinus to the vegas nerve to try to interrupt the sympathetic firing..

I too have a hole I have to be very careful with now. I don't think the surgeon irrigated it as you stated.

Noe it's the puncture from the injections that are a problem..
