Question
Hi, I have Ehlers Danlos Sydrome and I am trying to find advice. I know because of the disorder I am not supposed to have surgeries because of the limiting healing, but do you know anything about having root canals? (dental) I really need one and I am just not sure if me having EDS will cause any problems or complications to having a root canal done?

Answer
I don't know much about specifics of root canals, although I know several people with EDS who have had them, including my father.  Best thing to do is ensure your dentist knows EDS and the possible risks.  EDS Today reprinted an article on dental issues here:

I recommend sharing this article with your dentist.
