Hi thanks. I was prescribed antibiotics by my dentist prior to the root canal, but I didn't take them.... So whatever infection was present at the time probably wasn't cleared out when the endodontist did the root canal.

When I went for my permanent filling, the dentist commented that it was a very well done root canal (the guy I went to is apparently the best in the area).

Anyway, that being said, and having read many things on this forum (which unfortunately, I found only a day before the root canal, and by then it was too late to say no...), I think I should get it extracted ... I'm just wondering about any possible complications?

Thanks!

Just curious as to how common sinus infections, etc., are after root canals ...

My left ear is also hurting (not constantly) but off and on (piercing in spurts). Feel like sneezing but don't (and mostly only from the left nostril, not the right ...) I rarely get colds so I'm pretty sure I'm not getting one now.
