Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment, also called Endodontic treatment, deals with the tooth pulp and tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. General dentists may provide root canal therapy or may choose to refer difficult treatment cases to an endodontist for specialty care. For information on root canal treatment and other endodontic procedures, please refer to the American Association of Endodontists' website.

The OHSU Graduate Endodontic Clinic provides treatment by qualified dentists receiving specialty training in endodontics under the guidance of licensed OHSU faculty specialists. Our services include:

• Routine endodontic care for simple and complex cases

• Follow-up management of traumatically injured teeth
• Sedation options for patients undergoing endodontic treatment.
