What are Root Canal Treatments?

Root canal therapies restore and protect infected or decayed teeth. When you choose to undergo root canal therapy at our Tualatin office, our dentist removes the infected material and bacteria causing your toothache. With a prompt root canal treatment, we can most likely save the tooth, and you won't require an extraction.

Do I Need to Undergo Root Canal Therapy?

There are many common warning signs of an infected tooth. If you or a loved one detect any of these symptoms, it's vital to schedule a visit with our team immediately. Waiting to receive treatment allows the infection to spread or worsen and may reduce our ability to perform successful root canal therapy. Symptoms to be watchful for include:

  • Sudden and unexpected tooth pain
  • Constantly bleeding or swollen gums
  • Darkening tooth enamel
  • Pain while chewing
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold beverages and foods

Prompt Care for Tooth Pain & Infections

Even after our office is closed, you can contact our dentist by calling our office phone. If you've suffered a severe dental emergency and need immediate assistance, we are happy to set up an after-hours appointment.

Our dentist has the skill and experience to perform most root canal therapies in-house, but particularly complex cases get referred out to a trusted endodontist. We want to make sure you receive the best care possible for your unique situation, so you can quickly resume your everyday lifestyle.

Our Efficient Root Canal Therapy Process

Before we start your Tualatin root canal therapy, our dentist meets with you to explain your treatment options and answer questions. By presenting all the information about the services available to you, we help you make the best decision for your oral health. If you're struggling with a recurring infection and need retreatment, we'll refer you to a skilled endodontist to carefully carry out the procedure.

To carry out your root canal treatment, we:

  • Use digital imaging and x-rays to map out the afflicted tooth and supporting tissue.
  • Apply an anesthetic to gently numb the area and make the procedure as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
  • Remove all of the infected tissue and bacteria from your root canal.
  • Fill the tooth with an antibacterial solution and seal it to reduce the chances of recurring infections.
  • Complete the process with a filling or dental crown, to prevent further damage.
