Specialist Root Canal Treatment Can Protect Your Overall Health

By February 20, 2025No Comments

Many patients believe root canal treatment is simply a way to fix an infected tooth and relieve dental pain. But the benefits go much further. Did you know treating an infected tooth can also protect your overall health?

At the Root Canal Dental Centre in Richmond, we specialise in endodontic treatment designed to save your natural teeth and prevent infection from affecting the rest of your body.

What is the Link Between Oral Health and General Well-being?

Your oral health and general well-being are inextricably linked. When a tooth becomes infected, harmful bacteria can spread, potentially leading to other health problems, such as:

  • Heart disease – bacteria from an untreated dental infection can travel through the bloodstream and contribute to cardiac issues.
  • Diabetes complications – oral infections can make it harder for diabetics to control their blood sugar levels.
  • Lung infections – respiratory complications can arise due to inhalation of harmful bacteria from an infected tooth.

Smile Saving Root Canal Treatment in London

A root canal doesn’t just stop tooth pain. It removes the infection and prevents it from spreading to other parts of your body. Here at the Root Canal Centre in Richmond, our endodontic specialist, Dr Nicolai Orsteen, uses advanced technology to ensure this procedure is quick, precise and comfortable.

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as:

  • Persistent toothache
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Swollen gums
  • Persistent bad taste in your mouth

… you may require root canal treatment. The sooner you treat the infection, the better for your health!

“

“I was referred here to the Endodontist, again dreading the appointment, but I had to get this sorted out. It was unbearable pain and swelling. All I can say after going here to have this sorted out, the rest is history. I will also never have root canal treatment anywhere other than here. I didn’t feel a thing. It was quick, painless, and fascinating (as the treatment is carried out under a microscope). This clinician who treated me was brilliant AND he saved my tooth. A huge thank you also to Jasmine for your time, explaining, calling me before and after the treatment. Highly recommended.”
