Not likely: Anything is possible. However, the feeling that a tooth needs to be drained during a root canal isn't supported by good clinical practice or research. An endodontist is bound by what we call "standard of care" they are morally and legally obligated to provide quality care that meets or exceeds good clinical practice in your area. It is not in your best interest or theirs to do substandard work.
