You can trust that when it comes to root canal therapy, we deliver the effective family dental care you need in the caring, stress-free environment you deserve.

Root Canal Therapy

At Soft Touch Dentistry, we utilize the latest dental technology and advanced technique when offering root canal therapy. A root canal procedure is used to treat and save a tooth that has become infected. Untreated decay, cracks, chips and trauma can all cause a tooth to become an infected. This results in an infection in the surrounding tissue and often a painful abscess formation. Dr. Thompson can deliver effective root canal therapy, a procedure that involves the removal of the tooth nerve and pulp followed by a thorough cleaning and sealing of the root canal site. Root canal therapy prevents further tooth and gum damage. Remember, root canals are not painful; however, an infected tooth is extremely painful.

Soft Touch Dentistry proudly delivers painless root canals as well as other restorative procedures, including extractions, crowns/bridges, dentures and more.

It’s Time To Discuss Your Bad Breath

Chronic Bad Breath Treatments, Remedies for Halitosis

Has wearing a mask throughout the day made you more aware of your bad breath? Bad breath, or halitosis, is an embarrassing condition.

In some cases, bad breath can be a warning sign of something more serious going on in your mouth or your body. (more…)

I visited their new location and the first thing I noticed was the smell of pumpkin spice candles when I walked in the door. The waiting room is homey and their television is set to HGTV. Makes the wait very pleasant!
