Is a root canal considered oral surgery?
A root canal is generally not considered oral surgery in the traditional sense. Instead, it is classified as an endodontic procedure, which involves treating issues inside the tooth, specifically the pulp and root canals. Root canal therapy is typically performed by a general dentist or an endodontist (a specialist in root canal treatment) and does not usually involve surgical incisions into the gums or jawbone. However, in some complex cases—such as when infection persists after a root canal—an endodontic surgical procedure like an apicoectomy (removal of the root tip) may be required. That type of treatment would fall under the category of oral surgery. In summary, a standard root canal is a non-surgical dental procedure, but related procedures may involve oral surgery when necessary.

What can you do about an infected jaw bone from an unfinished root canal and a pulled abscessed tooth?
You may want to use a search engine to look for the word "DentalCavitation" in parentheses.I'm not sure what an unfinished root canal is, except that when I have had root canals they were usually started on one visit and completed on another. Was it started and not finished? When a tooth is pulled, a good oral surgeon should also carefully remove the periodontal ligament and scrape, or curette, the extraction site to remove any and all dead/necrotic bone. As for the root canaled tooth, it may be a goner if the site has become infected. The tooth may need to be extracted and the same clean out procedure done as mentioned above. When you talk to an oral surgeon, be sure he or she is familiar with removal of the periodontal ligament and removing all dead bone before suturing the site.
Can you become deaf from a root canal is there a nerve from your ear to you teeth?
The answer is yes. There are two very important neves that run alongside the "Venus Mask" --- the parietal nerve and the oral-maxillofacial neve. That is why, before you have a wisdom tooth pulled, you're required to sign papers that warn you of the possibilities of damage to (either) nerve, including nerve damage to the ear. The same holds true if you undergo a "Typoid Mastectomy Revision" (a Cholestiatoma) in (either) ear. What I said does not necessarlly hold true for a "simple" procedure such as a root-canal procedure. However, I've been warned by those who have had root canal fillings, that (this) will weaken your teeth and can be easily broken or dislodged. I find that to be true. I've had 4 root canal procedures, and yes, I've lost all of (the teeth, due to weakening). I would never, IMO, suggest that (anyone) have a root canal filling. I've seen the results --- and, now I'm facing implants. Regards, Jim
You recently had tooth 14 extracted it was cracked and had an old root canal your DDS said something about a root tip and that you should go back to the oral surgeon and have him remove same Normal?
Yes, it sounds quite 'normal'. Teeth with root canals are often quite brittle and root tips can fracture easily during extractions. Most general dentists are not comfortable in trying to recover root tips in this area due to the close proximity of the maxillary sinus. The floor of the sinus can be perforated and sometimes the root tip can even enter the sinus itself. A situation like this is best treated by an oral surgeon, because they have the training and the experience to manage any potential complications. It sounds like your dentist has given you the best advice and has your interests at heart.
