Abstract

Tooth decay is common in US children, especially for children in low-income families. More than half of second-grade children have cavities.

We report a case of a 2-year-old boy with a rare complication of a root canal procedure secondary to sodium hypochlorite toxicity. Sodium hypochlorite, a commonly used root canal irrigant, and its toxicity are reviewed.
