Root Canal Treatment Oregon City
Relieving Pain & Saving Your Tooth
The truth is that root canal treatment is not something to fear. When a tooth becomes severely infected or inflamed deep within its inner chamber, a root canal is often the only way to stop the pain and save it from extraction. And saving your natural tooth is almost always the better outcome! To learn more or schedule your appointment, don’t wait to contact our Oregon City dental office.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
The root canal process begins with us numbing the area around the affected tooth, ensuring you feel no pain once we start. We’ll then create a small opening in the tooth to access the inner chamber, known as the pulp. This is where the tooth's nerves and blood vessels are, as well as where the source of the infection resides. We’ll gently remove the compromised pulp tissue, then reshape and disinfect the tooth’s root canals to eliminate any remaining bacteria. The tooth is then filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection, and in most cases, a dental crown is placed to restore its strength and protect it for the long term.
