Red River Endodontics offers a comprehensive range of endodontic procedures designed to save natural teeth and alleviate pain. Their primary services include: Root Canal Therapy: A common procedure to treat infected or inflamed dental pulp, saving the tooth from extraction. Apicoectomy: A surgical procedure performed when a root canal is insufficient to heal an infection, involving the removal of the apex of the tooth's root and the surrounding infected tissue. Cracked Teeth Treatment: Diagnosis and treatment for teeth that have been cracked due to trauma or other factors. The clinic prides itself on utilizing advanced technology to provide efficient, precise, and comfortable care. Notably, Red River Endodontics is the only provider in North Dakota to use the GentleWave System for most root canal procedures. This innovative technology is designed to clean microscopic spaces within the root canal system that traditional methods might miss, leading to more thorough cleaning and potentially faster healing. Other advanced technologies include operating microscopes and digital imaging, which reduces radiation exposure compared to conventional film-based techniques.
