Asked By:1bamaboo in Alameda, CA

I had a root canal go bad and one of the roots split off towards my back bottom tooth and down to bone and has gotten infected due to a hole that formed in the root canal and caused the back tooth next to it got a cavity, decayed and had multiple abscesses. Had root canal removed a week ago and bone graft. Can’t root canal decayed tooth until this heals some. Stitches came out and it’s a hole, more painful and now has multiple abscesses below and one above. This just doesn’t seem right!
