About Willamette Valley Endodontics

Based on High Street Northeast in the Central Area area of Salem, Oregon, Willamette Valley Endodontics is a dental practice serving the area. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

What does a periodontist treat?
Periodontists focus on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease and related surgical treatment, as well as placing implants in many practices.
When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?
Usually on referral, when gum disease has advanced beyond what routine treatment is resolving — deep pockets, ongoing bone loss, or gum recession needing surgical management.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

Dr Troung and his assistant did an outstanding root canal. Very pleasant and pain free. This is a great place.

I had a really good experience 6 years ago and this visit was equally as good. Care was excellent. Staff is terrific and I was able to get in for root canal right away. Dr. Truong is patient and doesn't hurry through the local anesthetic process or the root canal. I had no pain during the procedure. Actually nodded off during the procedure! Highly recommend.

From the moment I entered Willamette Valley Endrodontics to when I left the office I encountered only friendly and professional staff. Check in was beyond a breeze, it was actually made fun by an interactive front desk staff. Once in the chair the dental professionals actually listened to me, asked questions and went about with a through exam. Explanations, treatments and options were explained in understandable terms. I would highly recommend this dental practice.

Not many people enjoy going to the dentist especially for a root canal. I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with dentists in the past which has resulted in a lot of anxiety concerning any dental procedures. From the moment I walked in the door until I left, the entire staff was warm and welcoming. I was immediately put at ease.

My wife was referred here for treatment. We absolutely love Dr. Truong and his staff. There were many questions and some anxiety around the treatment. He patiently answered all the questions and gave all the treatment options. In our life we have never met such a patient doctor, either medical or dental. He took as much time as needed to make her feel confident. The procedure went very well and it felt as if she didn't have anything done, as it went so smoothly. We highly recommend this provider!

Amazing staff and dentist! I had such a good time, I had a root canal finished that had bothered me for years - Dr Hu was gentle and let me know what was happening all throughout, his assistant (forgot her name) was amazing too. There was no pain at all. I felt at home at a dentist office, which is hard to say! I hope if I need to visit another endodontist I get to go to their office. Thank you all for helping me out.

Dr Hu and his assistant were absolutely great. I normally get anxious when going in for dental work, but Dr Hu was professional, explained everything he was going to do. He and his assistant were friendly, calming, and put me right at ease. They also explained what my out pocket costs would be before moving ahead, which I greatly appreciated.

I’ve had three root canal’s but this was the best experience I’ve ever had. I didn’t feel a thing and I feel asleep during the procedure. The Dr. was so nice and gentle and it only took an hour. Staff was so friendly and I would recommend them to everyone. 10/10
