Are Fillers Safe for Someone Who Has Had Multiple Root Canals?

te
I would like to have restylane injected to my lower eyelid/cheek area, but I am increasingly concerned about the possibility of biofilm injection. I have read about several cases of it here on RealSelf, and though I know that it's a rare complication, I have come across some medical literature regarding a possible connection between endodontically treated teeth and biofilm injection after Restylane. I am concerned about this because I have had four root canals. Please advise. Thank you!
