The Doctors and team at Canyon Ridge
Endodontics are committed to providing the finest

environment. The office is comprised of a staff of
highly trained professionals who together with the
doctor will help the patient in understanding their dental
conditions. The doctor and their team feel that the
patients need to understand all treatment options so a
educated decision can be made. The office is committed
to the health and welfare of their patients above all
else.
Endodontics is the area
of dentistry dealing with the prevention,
diagnosis, and
treatment of disorders of the dental pulp. Endodontic
therapy (root canal) is a treatment modality that will
save diseased or injured teeth. The alternative to
endodontics is extraction. Typically, a severely decayed
tooth or a tooth with a large filling will begin to
ache. The pain might be intermittent at first and over
time progress to a constant dull throbbing pain or a
severe ache that might be felt on all the teeth on the
affected side. Sometimes there is no pain and an abscess
might be discovered on a routine x-ray. The pulp is the
soft tissue that is located inside the tooth structure.
It contains nerves, arteries, veins, and lymph tissue.
It is contained in the canals located in thin tube-like
spaces in the roots and in the pulp chamber located
within the crown of the tooth.
