Hello I had a tooth infection couple weeks ago which was my upper right back tooth. I had root canal done on it in 2010 and the tooth infront of infected tooth had a chipped cap which might have been the cause of infection. I got s temp crown and was told a maybe re root canal be needed.But from a few days I have slight discomfort in my right eye and sometimes it travels to right part of head. Do you think it might be connected to my tooth?
