Poor dental health in general, including multiple root canal treatments or untreated tooth infections, have a higher risk of heart attacks.
However, it needs to be noted that root canals cause heart attacks directly, but untreated infections and poor oral hygiene can be risk factors.
Root canal treatment itself may sometimes be a marker indicating previous or ongoing dental infections that contribute to the heart risk.
True! It’s not the root canal that causes heart problems, it’s usually the untreated infections or poor dental hygiene behind it. Taking care of your oral health isn’t just about saving teeth, it’s about protecting your heart too.
