Have you ever had a root canal? If yes, read this.

This is an article that tells about someone's experience with having a root canal extracted. I've just reserved the book she refers to from my local library. I think this might explain (at least in part) why I've been sick a lot:

The Root Canal Coverup and the Butterfly Dance

My acupuncture boss told me about the Root Canal Coverup book. I'm really glad she did.

I've never had a root canal, but things in the head seem to effect other things in the head. My mom had chronic sinus infections for 3 years before her dentist figured out she needed a root canal. In her case, the root canal solved the problem. I had dental work done to level out my bite (my jaw and teeth weren't lined up quite right) and my migraine-level headaches subsided to just a nuisance once in a while.
I can totally see how a root canal would open the door for bigger, full-body infections. Ick. Other than extraction, let me know if you learn of any other ways to combat the potential infections.
