Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Thank you to all who responded. I have passed along the info to the patient so she can make an informed decision. kathleen susan729055 <susie wrote: Hi Kathleen I think you have the answer in the root canal tx 1 month ago! Root canal tx always leaves chronic low grade infection trapped in the tooth. As a dentist pointed out to me that root canal tx is the only case in medicine where a dead part of the body is not removed! Your patient will probably not want to do anything about this (personally I would have the dead tooth removed), because the ear isn't troubling her, but she may develop signs of infection later. regards Susie Chinese Medicine , Kathleen Mathews <kthmathews2003 wrote: > > Dr. Fadaie, > > Based on Susie's comments I again asked the patient Monday if she had any gum/dental issues. She did say that there was still some soreness on the left side (where the bruise was) from a root canal a month ago. Not truly pain, just tender at times.
