Root Canal Treatment in Broadway
Root canal treatment is one of the most frequent emergency procedures we perform at Roots Dental Portland. Although it may sound intimidating, this essential treatment is meant to stop pain—not cause it—and helps preserve natural teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Using advanced rotary tools, our Portland dentist carefully removes bacteria and infection from inside the tooth, then seals it to prevent future issues. To restore strength and function, we typically recommend a custom dental crown—especially for back teeth that handle heavy chewing.
Mild sensitivity is normal for a few days after treatment, but once the infection is resolved, most patients feel significant relief and a quick return to normal. Root canals are a safe, effective way to save your smile and avoid tooth loss.
We Can Help With Everything!
Common dental emergencies we treat include:
Broken or knocked-out teeth
Lost crowns, fillings, or bridges
Toothaches or sensitivity to hot and cold
Swelling, bleeding, or gum pain
Damaged dentures or partials
Introducing your Portland dentists
Dr. Jonathan Gold , DMD
General Dentist
Dr. Clark Brinton, DMD
General Dentist
Dr. Brinton graduated from the OHSU School of Dentistry in 2013 as the class valedictorian. During his third and fourth years, he was selected as one of two students to train under Drs. Stanley Malamed and Ken Reed in IV sedation as a member of their mini-residency program.
He practiced general dentistry in New Mexico from 2013 to 2017, devoting much of his practice to IV sedation and dental surgery, including dental extractions, removal of impacted wisdom teeth, and dental implant surgery. Dr. Brinton credits his high level of experience and education in a short time to his commitment to continued professional education and training.
He holds education in such high regard that he is the CEO of Hero Dental Education, where he trains another dentist in hands-on dental implant surgery techniques, including dental implant surgery, restorative, complications, and All-on-4 implant retained dentures. His current course offerings are available at www.dentalimplanthero.com
Dr. Brinton and his wife, Kjerstin, have three young children, Annika, Hanna, and Sven. In their free time, they love to enjoy the outdoors, whether on foot, bike, or skis.
