thanks for the clarification. I am not sure where I heard about the gasses of the formaldehyde. I still don't know what to do about these 2 teeth. My dental insurance only covers cleanings and won't cover anything else until I've had it a year which is next September. I figure I can't wait that long although the meds for the Sargenti problem help the pain.

Why can you not just take an antibiotic and get rid of the infection?

Pained,

To explain that in simple terms.... the nerve tissue that remains in the tiny canals is being fed by the infectious bacteria that protects it from being touched by the antibiotic. The species of this bacteria is vast and keeps multiplying which makes it resistant to any antibiotic. Also, the bacteria does not stay contained within those tiny spaces. It migrates beyond the tooth along with the toxins from the disinfectant. The more systemic it becomes the more the bacteria changes to suit the environment that it settles in making it very difficult to treat systemically. This is what leads to long term and often permanent health problems.
