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.

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.
Great place. Went in for a consultation, the receptionist is amazing, Dr Hu was amazing and his assistant was amazing as well. They want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible. Love this place, would reccomend to anyone.
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 felt very well cared for and would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of dental/ endodontic care. Excellent⭐️😊
Very professional, skilled, and informative.
I was referred to WAE by my primary and they were great my start to finish! I had a root canal issue and Alyssa was able to get me in right away. She followed up within 24 hours and got me in the next day! Rebecca was my dental assistant and really helped me through the process for helping Dr Hu diagnose my issue! First time visiting and couldn’t recommend more, if you’re referred, lucky you and if you’re a new patient reach out!
I had always heard scary stories of root canals so was nervous for my appointment. Well that was a waste of negative energy! The team was super nice and Dr. Hu was fantastic! He showed me my xray and explained why the procedure was needed. He was explaining everything before doing it so I wouldn’t have any surprises. The only part that sucked was the cold test on the teeth next to the bad one. Then asked me if I wanted him to talk me through everything as he was doing the procedure. I did not. I just closed my eyes, listened to the upbeat music and Hu and the assistant talk about animal clips they’ve seen recently online. It was great hearing how much they get along but also, who doesn’t love hearing fun animal stories!?! The procedure was completely painless. Started at like 10:20a and was numb until about 4p. Today is the next morning and no pain at all. Highly recommend.
Dr. Tai Truong is an outstanding doctor who really care about his patients. He has treated me three times now with the best care. His assistant is also so kind. Dr. Truong even came in on a weekend to put my temp crown that fell off back on for me. I highly recommend him and won’t see anyone else for a root canal! All of the office staff is very friendly and helpful too I appreciated all of them! :)
I absolutely love this dental office. This has honestly been the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. The dentist and his assistant are both amazing. He makes sure you’re not in pain and constantly checks that you’re comfortable during the procedure. The staff is so kind and caring they even give you a warm blanket, which made me feel so safe and relaxed. You can really tell they care about their patients. I felt completely comfortable and taken care of the whole time. I definitely recommend this place.
Dr. Truong and his staff were absolutely wonderful. We were referred on an emergency basis and were able to be seen the very same day, which was such a relief. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was kind, gracious, and incredibly supportive, especially with my son, who was feeling very anxious. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the visit. Dr. Truong’s care and compassion truly stood out, and he messaged afterwards to check on how my son was doing. Such a positive experience during a stressful situation. I highly recommend Dr. Truong and his amazing staff!
