I have dental implants now -- 5 of them -- but I still have a few root canals, and only recently learned about the infection potential of them. According to one doctor's opinion, all root canals are infected! I have done a yeoman's job in maintaining my health all these 78 years, and to find that root canals can hamper or outright destroy all my efforts is daunting. Your plan to delve into various healing modalities is inspiring. I myself try many different ways to stay healthy and I figure that I will always have to do this. Most people don't want to do the reading, the research, the thinking and planning and trying different approaches in order to heal from illness. But some people, such as yourself, are willing -- are game to give it a try. I wish you the best, and abundant success in this task. By the way, I had never heard of laser treatment for root canals, so I'm looking it up right now....thanks !

I had a couple of root canals done in the 1980s. In 2005 I was in an accident and had a CT which showed no damage but the ER told me I had an infection in my right sinus. I took an antibiotic. I had no idea. No pain. Move on to around 2009 I started having continuous sinus infections on my right side. A cold brought on sinus infections that went on and on. I went to an ENT who gave me antibiotics and prednisone. Once in awhile I would swell up and get pain. Back to the ENT. Then after 2 years I went to my dentist (after ignoring it for awhile) and X-rays showed an abscess in a root canal below my right sinus. I had it removed in late 2011. I never had another sinus infection again and even very few colds. I may have the others removed but I’m very healthy at 77 this year. I work at it. No Covid jabs. Good luck on your treatment. I will be watching.
