A member asked:
When my dentist did a root canal he mentioned that there was some kind of watery stuff in the tooth. was that an infection?

Watery Stuff: Hard to tell if "water stuff" means an infection. Your best bet is to ask the dentist who treated you.

Hypochlorite: This is the same "stuff" your dentist used when he or she flushed out your root canal. Take care.
