Save your natural teeth
We focus on helping you keep your teeth healthy, but sometimes infections just happen. When that occurs and bacteria reaches the pulp of your tooth, a root canal (also known as endodontic treatment) is usually the best way to stop the infection on its tracks.
Our Salem root canal dentists have proudly helped many patients overcome severe tooth infections. Call (503) 831-9866 or request an appointment online!

Root Canals at Pacific Crest
“That didn’t hurt at all” is one of our favorite things to hear from our patients. Endodontic therapies at our practice are virtually painless, and so is our process:
- NWe take a 3D scan of your mouth
- NYour dentist numbs the area
- NThey remove the infected tissue from your tooth
- NThe canal is then cleaned and sealed
- NWe cover it with a custom-made same-day crown

Frequently Asked Questions
Have any more questions? We’ve got answers. Reach out to us at (503) 831-9866.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
- Severe, constant toothache
- Tooth sensitivity
- Jaw bone pain
- Broken or cracked teeth
What are the advantages of getting a root canal?
Root canals are the best way to treat severe tooth infections because they:
- Keep your natural tooth from needing an extraction or falling out
- Stop the pain associated with infection
- Reduce tooth sensitivity
- Prevent other potential issues
Do root canals hurt?
Root canals are not supposed to hurt — what hurts is the infection itself! Thanks to technological developments, we can make this a very comfortable procedure for our patients.
What should I avoid after a root canal?
Your mouth will still feel numbed a few hours after the procedure. To avoid injuring your cheeks or other soft tissues, avoid chewing or drinking hot beverages during this time. Follow this and any other instructions provided by your Salem root canal dentist!
