Are things like Plax and Mouthwashes bad for a tooth that has had a root canal done to it? The stuff in mouthwashes and plax etc that breaks up or loosens plaque, does it ruin the stuff they use in filling in the hole of the root canal tooth?

No.

The best way to have good oral health for teeth with root canals is to avoid things like hard bubble gum, real sticky foods and others that require hard chewing. As those teeth become more brittle due to the loss of 'life' they are more subject to fracturing.
