Every dental infection is unique and every patient is unique so this answer will be a generalization. Typically if the root canal was non-surgical, in other words the work was done through the center of the tooth and no surgical flap was performed then travel shouldnt be a problem. More complicated root canals with aggressive infections may be the exception. Your endodontist may want you on antibiotics. Discuss with the provider. Hope this helps.
