Can a failed root canal cause meningitis and / or headache flare ups?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: If you think you have meningitis, go to a hospital emergency department right away! Meningitis is a potentially fatal condition. It is very unlikely there is any connection between your root canal tooth and meningitis. There are many, many causes for headaches. Let your doctors find out what they are.
