I have had 2 root canals on #15, 12/14 and 7/16. I still have a localized, chronic infection that was confirmed today. I also have a MTHFR mutation that can affect my vascular system (gum graft took almost 2 years to heal). Endo says we can wait another year and see how it is. I have pain in my jaw and temple, sometimes the ear as well. I am a hard clencher at night, I have Invisalign, tray #5 out of 23. What are my options? I don't know if an implant will work for me with my MTHFR & clenching.
