What Causes a Tooth Infection?
Why Is Root Canal Treatment So Important?
Untreated dental infections carry the risk of critically affecting your overall health. If you are suffering from an infected tooth, it is vital to receive root canal treatment as soon as possible. Addressing this condition early can remove bacteria before it spreads to the rest of your teeth or to your gums. Early, effective treatment can also prevent a serious, or even life-threatening, infection in your jawbone.

I first came to Dr Heringer’s office after not going to the dentist for many years because of a horrible experience with another dentist. I was super anxious my first visit, to the point of being in tears. Dr Heringer and his staff were amazing and very understanding of my situation. They made sure I was comfortable and with each visit I became more comfortable. I am so thankful for Dr Heringer and his staff.

As the first dentist to practice advanced laser dentistry in Bismarck, Dr. Heringer has extensive experience using these state-of-the-art tools to perform root canals. Here are some of the reasons why laser dentistry can make your root canal more comfortable and effective:
Highly successful technology
Our Bismarck, ND, practice utilizes the BIOLASE WaterLase® laser, a diode laser, and a Giromatic® handpiece, ultramodern tools designed for the most delicate, intricate treatments that dentists and endodontists provide. Laser implements are incredibly accurate and more effective than traditional dental drills at clearing out all infected material from a tooth, significantly decreasing the risk of further infection.
Low-stress experience
Many patients worry that a root canal will be painful and stressful, causing them to delay treatment or avoid it completely. With a numbing anesthetic and our gentle, precise laser technology, your root canal will be a virtually pain-free procedure. The our laser implements are is quiet and stable, eliminating the unpleasant noise and vibration commonly associated with root canals.
Quick recovery
While the laser works to eliminate infected pulp, it simultaneously soothes the tooth and gums with cool streams of water and air, ensuring the area is well hydrated and less prone to inflammation. Patients who receive a laser-assisted root canal can typically expect to be free of all discomfort in just a few days after treatment.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
Most people are familiar with the term "root canal," but not everyone understands how this dental procedure actually works. During a root canal, your dentist or endodontist will remove the diseased pulp from your tooth, sanitize and seal the area with an inert substance, and place a custom dental crown to protect the tooth and restore normal function. Choosing a root canal can prevent further infection and save your tooth from extraction. Learn what our Bismarck, ND, patients can expect during their root canal procedure:
