A member asked:
Can a root canal cause a seizure and alter one's perception. i've been having issues for over a year now and it is affecting my entire body?

Seizure from RCT?: No. I see absolutely no correlation and after 40 years in practice have never heard of these symptoms related to RCT, even if done poorly. Look elsewhere. Have you discussed this with your own primary care physician? If not, do so.

No: Root canal therapy would not involve procedures or medicaments that would cause a seizure. Discuss your physical symptoms with your physician.
