Choosing the right specialist for dental implants matters. Endodontists offer advanced precision and expertise, which can improve outcomes and long-term success.

A failed root canal can cause pain or reinfection even years later. In many cases, retreatment can save the tooth without needing extraction.

Spring sports increase the risk of dental injuries from falls or impact. Acting quickly in those first moments can help save a damaged or knocked-out tooth.

Spring allergies can cause sinus pressure that leads to tooth pain, often mimicking a dental infection. Knowing the difference helps you decide whether you need allergy relief or a dental visit.

You’ll be surprised how comfortable a root canal can be at River Valley Endodontics. With high-tech equipment like a 3-D CT scanner, the option of two forms of sedation, and treatment from Dr. Reeh, a board-certified endodontist with 30-plus years of experience, you won’t experience any discomfort. Unlike a general dentist, root canals are Dr. Reeh’s specialty. He can even perform an apicoectomy, a procedure that can save a tooth even if the infection has gotten into its root.

Like any dental procedure, there are things you can do prior to root canal treatment to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. If you’ve already scheduled your procedure with River Valley Endodontics, you’ve already done one important thing. Since he is an endodontist, Dr. Reeh has advanced training and performs root canals all the time. In contrast, most general dentists don’t perform them that often.
