Dental infection has kept my daughter in pain and swollen since 10/31....antibiotics have been used and some sort of injection directly into tooth...nothing is working...swelling does seem to be going down...she is scheduled for next appt 12/19  will the dentist be able to perform root canal when pain is still there.. we have airline and hotel reservations for 12/24  is there any hope ?

They will. The numbing itself will probably hurt a little, because she is feeling pain to begin with, but after that, she sould be fine. You will make your flight, dont worry.
