The holiday festivities are drawing closer, and we’re all getting into the spirit together! But while you’re decking the halls, have you thought about the health of your smile?

Toothache For Christmas?
Nothing can dampen the Christmas mood as much as dental pain. Whether you’re experiencing intense sensitivity or dull throbbing after eating, this may indicate a deeper issue that requires treatment, like an infection or abscess.
At The Root Canal Dental Centre in London, we specialise in advanced endodontic treatments that treat infections at their root cause and work to relieve pain and save teeth from extraction.
Save Your Smile This Season
When a tooth becomes badly infected or damaged, root canal treatment or tooth extraction are often the most common courses of action. Each has its pros and cons, so let’s discuss the differences:
Root Canal Treatment
- Addresses the problem at its source by removing the infection and damaged pulp.
- Relieves pain and discomfort almost immediately.
- Avoids removing the tooth, so it maintains your natural smile and prevents the need for replacements like dental implants or bridges.
- Prevents further issues from occurring, like infection spreading to other areas of the mouth.
Tooth Extraction
- Solves the immediate problem but requires removal of the entire tooth.
- Can be a simple or complex procedure depending on the tooth structure.
- Likely to require a replacement tooth as missing teeth can affect chewing, speaking and proper function.
So, which treatment is right for you? This decision depends entirely on the condition of the affected tooth and your overall oral health. By booking an appointment at The Root Canal Dental Centre in Richmond, our endodontic experts can help you make the best choice for your smile.
