Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy at Chinook Falls Dental Clinic in Sandy, Oregon, is a treatment designed to relieve dental pain and save your natural teeth. This therapy is often required when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or old restorations. Symptoms can include prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discomfort when biting, swelling, or tooth discoloration, though some cases may be asymptomatic. The procedure involves painlessly removing the infected pulp and filling the roots with a suitable material, typically completed in one or two visits. Afterward, a crown or permanent restoration is applied to ensure the tooth's long-term success. If you have tooth pain or signs of infection, contact us for an evaluation and to learn if root canal therapy is the right solution for you.
