A new year often inspires resolutions for better health. While many focus on diet and exercise, your oral health deserves just as much attention. If you’ve been delaying a recommended endodontic procedure, 2026 is the perfect time to prioritize your well-being and get the treatment you need. Putting off procedures like a root canal can lead to more significant pain and complex health issues down the road.
At Cascade Endodontics in Orem, Utah, we understand that facing dental treatment can be intimidating. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable and effective as possible, helping you start the year with a healthy, pain-free smile.
Why You Shouldn’t Delay Endodontic Care
Delaying endodontic care can lead to severe pain, infection, tooth loss, and costly treatments, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to preserve oral health and comfort
Ignoring a tooth that needs specialized care won’t make the problem disappear. An infected or damaged tooth root can cause persistent pain, swelling, and even lead to an abscess. These infections can affect your overall health if left untreated. By addressing the issue promptly, you prevent further damage, save your natural tooth, and eliminate the source of discomfort.
Many people put off treatment because of dental anxiety or concerns about the procedure itself. However, modern endodontics has made treatments like root canals a straightforward and relatively painless process. Making your oral health a priority this year is an investment in your long-term comfort and wellness.
Restore Your Health with Advanced Treatment
Endodontic procedures are designed to save your natural teeth and restore your oral health.
- Root Canal Therapy: This treatment is needed when the soft tissue inside your tooth root, called the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. During the procedure, the damaged pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, and then it is filled and sealed. A crown or other restoration is then placed on the tooth to protect it and restore it to full function.
- Apicoectomy: Sometimes, an infection persists after a root canal. An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes the very tip of the tooth’s root, along with any infected tissue, before sealing the end of the root. This can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Choosing to undergo these treatments at the start of the year allows you to take advantage of fresh insurance benefits and a renewed commitment to self-care.
