Save your Tooth: Understanding Root Canal Treatment
Ensuring Dental Health and Comfort Through Effective Treatment
We offer a solution to salvage severely injured natural teeth: the root canal procedure. Our skilled dental team conducts a thorough assessment of the affected tooth and surrounding tissue. If preserving your natural tooth is viable, we recommend avoiding a root canal. However, should the infection progress into the root tip, extraction may become necessary.
It’s important to note that any discomfort you’re experiencing might not directly relate to the infected tooth. During routine cleanings, we can identify affected areas, underscoring the importance of biannual dental visits. Schedule your appointments to maintain optimal oral health and catch issues early.
Your dentist breaks the news to you that in order to save your tooth, you will need to undergo a root canal procedure.
The good news is that the infected tooth pulp will be removed during your root canal operation, and the damaged area will be disinfected. The next step is for our root canal specialist to analyze your tooth and then consult with you with the various alternatives available to repair your natural tooth. Your natural tooth should always be preserved whenever possible, and we will do so by using either a permanent filling or a permanent one.
Finally, your tooth will be restored and the procedure will be complete. You should definitely feel a relief after this procedure is done because you can now enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about the added discomfort associated with an infected tooth.

Our team will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and digital imaging, to assess the condition of your tooth and surrounding structures. We will explain the procedure in detail, ensuring you understand the benefits and potential risks involved.

We understand that comfort is crucial during any dental procedure. At Cascade Dental, we prioritize patient comfort by offering various sedation options to help you relax throughout the process.

Non-Surgical Root Canal
At River District Smiles, we take pride in introducing a groundbreaking approach to root canal treatment, eliminating the need for surgery. Our non-surgical root canal procedure represents a significant advancement in dentistry, offering patients a comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional surgical methods.
Historically, root canal treatment has been synonymous with invasive surgeries involving the extraction of infected tooth pulp. This process typically entails incisions, sutures, and a prolonged recovery period. However, our team of skilled dentists has developed a non-surgical technique that circumvents these invasive procedures.
River District Smiles’ non-surgical root canal procedure utilizes cutting-edge technology and techniques to cleanse and disinfect the root canal system without resorting to surgery. We leverage state-of-the-art tools like rotary endodontics, ensuring precise and thorough cleaning of the infected tooth pulp.
Our experienced dentists begin by meticulously examining the affected tooth and conducting a comprehensive assessment to gauge the extent of the infection. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we administer a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Using specialized instruments, we access the root canal system through a small opening in the tooth. With precision and expertise, our dentists remove the infected pulp and meticulously cleanse the area. Subsequently, we fill the space with biocompatible material and seal it to prevent reinfection.
One of the notable advantages of our non-surgical root canal procedure is the minimal discomfort and swift recovery time. Absent are the incisions and sutures, resulting in reduced post-operative pain and swelling. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a day or two.
At River District Smiles, we are dedicated to delivering top-tier care and embracing cutting-edge treatment options. Our non-surgical root canal procedure exemplifies our commitment to innovation and patient satisfaction.
