We have experienced infection in teeth several times in our family and we use Colloidal Silver (500 ppms -- important!) both internally and topically. My mother was told about 3 years ago that she needed a root canal. She was in great pain. We used the Silver and the tooth was saved and she has not had the root canal. I have saved my own teeth with Silver several times. As I write, I have some kind of large swelling on my gum -- on the bone. I'm here looking for information, but I know what I will do already and that is use the Silver first. A root canal is the last choice for me as I have three of them and they cause me daily trouble. In fact, the swelling is just above a tooth that had a root canal.
Colloidal Silver is very dangerous. http://homepages.together.net/~rjstan/
The decay (Caries) getting on the nerve wont cause a staph infection. HOWEVER, Dirty or improperly sterilized instruments, or bacteria on the hands/gloves of the doctor or assistant can cause cross-contamination resulting in staph infection I would think.
There are many dangers of getting cochlear implants. Some of these dangers are injuries to the facial nerve, Meningitis, infection, blood collection, numbness around the ear, and attacks of vertigo.

Go to the dentist! You can not run around with a infection in your tooth. If you think you have a infection in your tooth that is enough reson to go to the dentist. They know if a nerve is infected or inflamed. -------- Even if it is inflamed that means that the dental nerve is infected with bacteria, and if left untreated it can lead to gangrene and root treatment. See this video about infection of the dental nerve http://www.checkdent.com/en/videos/tooth-inflammation-159.html
A nerve cell can be injured in many ways. One was is a direct attack on the nerve cell from an external force such as an infection. Another way is when the organism is attacked and the nerve cells are damaged during the attack.
If I had the nerve I'd probably just post this as the answer.
Infection is always a risk with any piercing. The lip area has no nerve endings to damage so is risk free there. If the piercing is too low, it can cause gum decay.
Seems that infection from the root canal of the teeth have passed to your maxillary sinus near your facial nerve branches. Better consult your physician.
