At Optimal Dental Health in Baker Street, London, our mission is simple; to help you keep your natural teeth for life while supporting your overall wellbeing. If you have an infected or damaged tooth, root canal therapy is often the best way to save it. But unlike conventional London dental practices, we take a holistic approach, using biocompatible materials, advanced technology, and gentle techniques that consider both your mouth and your body.
Why Choose Holistic Root Canal Therapy?
When bacteria enter the inner part of the tooth (the pulp), an infection can develop that risks spreading and ultimately leads to tooth loss. Root canal therapy is the gold standard for saving these teeth. At Optimal Dental Health, we go further by offering you holistic root canal treatment with Anna Galanoudi, our Endodontist with a special interest in root canal therapy, which means:
- Preserving your natural tooth whenever possible
- Using biocompatible, non-toxic materials
- Supporting your immune system during healing
- Minimising chemical exposure
- Integrating care with your wider health needs
This approach allows us to restore your tooth safely while protecting your overall health.

Our Holistic Treatment Process
1. Gentle Alternatives First
Where appropriate, we may explore vital pulp therapy, which removes only part of the infected tissue and uses Biodentine, a bioactive material that encourages natural healing.
If the infection is too advanced, we move to full root canal therapy, but always with a holistic focus.
2. Thorough Disinfection
We combine traditional methods with modern natural therapies:
- Sodium Hypochlorite – an effective disinfectant that dissolves infected tissue
- Ozone Therapy – a natural antimicrobial that penetrates even the tiniest canals, reduces inflammation, and supports healing
3. Advanced Technology for Precision
- Latex-free rubber dam – safe for allergy-sensitive patients
- CJ Optik Microscope – magnification to find every canal and check for cracks, which our you can see live on screen.
- Intraoperative imaging – high-quality photos for transparency and your dental records
- On-site CBCT scans – In-depth 3D imaging for diagnosing and planning complex cases
4. Biocompatible Sealing & Restoration
After cleaning, the tooth is carefully sealed and restored using chosen materials:
Gutta Percha (natural tree-based filling)
Bioceramic sealers (mineral-based, non-toxic)
BPA-free composite resins for safe, aesthetic fillings
Metal-free fibre posts when extra support is needed
We avoid materials linked to endocrine disruption or immune stress, aligning your dental care with your body’s wellbeing.
5. Natural Support for Recovery
To complement treatment, we may recommend gentle, natural remedies such as Arnica, Belladonna, Hepar Sulph, Silica, or Traumeel (when appropriate), to ease discomfort and support recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is holistic root canal therapy different?
We avoid toxic materials, support your immune system, and use methods like ozone therapy.
Do I always need antibiotics?
Only when absolutely necessary. If prescribed, we may recommend probiotics to support gut health.
Can I go back to work right after the treatment?
Yes, most people can. You may feel some numbness or soreness for a few hours, but normal activities can usually resume soon after. Anna Galanoudi will provide you with personalised aftercare advice.
What if I’ve had a failed root canal before?
We can assess using CBCT scans and attempt safe retreatment with our dental microscope.
How much does root canal treatment cost?
Treatment with our endodontist Anna Galanoudi starts from £1,300 per tooth.
What are the alternatives to a root canal?
The main alternative is a tooth extraction, often followed by a dental implant, bridge, or denture. However, saving the natural tooth is generally preferable for function and overall health.
