Michael, for what it's worth, please reconsider having a root canal. I learned a couple of years ago that an abcess can begin years and years before there are any overt symptoms and even then those symptoms can be obnoxiously difficult to directly relate to what is going on with a particular tooth.
By the time my upper molar "needed" a root canal and the tooth crowned, I had spent several years of miserable, chronic spring/fall sinus and even ear infections. I attributed the "singing" in the tooth to the fact its root was closest to the swollen sinus cavity and it certainly seemed it was the sinus causing the tooth pain. But in reality it was the opposite, for after finally having the root removed and all the infected tissue removed (not an abnormal amount, mind you, it had simply reached the point of being visible on an x-ray) my sinus problems have rather magically gone away. I still have to deal with the allergies, however I don't get so very, very sick and end up on antibiotics any longer.
Of course, this is my own personal experience and each of us is different but I thought this might be helpful to you.
PJ.

Hello all,
Sorry about this long ranting "off topic" thing, though it occurs to me that health and the attendant "bigger" issues are truly relevant to us whose interconnected, interdependent bodies, spirits and minds are our instruments...
