Root Canal Therapy Lee's Summit, MO

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on treating and studying the inner parts of your tooth, including the dental pulp and tooth nerves. If these tissues become damaged or infected, root canal therapy may be needed to restore your smile's health. The dental pulp and nerves may become infected if tooth decay or damage goes untreated and reaches deep inside the tooth. Without proper endodontic treatment, the infected tooth would die and require removal. Through root canal therapy, we can relieve the pain of a tooth infection, restore your oral health, and prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of your mouth.

Root canal therapy involves removing the infected dental pulp and tooth nerves from the tooth. Once this is complete, our qualified dentist in Lee's Summit, MO, will gently clean the tooth and fill it with a medicated, rubber-like material. Finally, the tooth is capped with a dental crown or filling to restore its original shape and structure. The Hurd Family dental team will ensure your root canal in Lee's Summit, Missouri, is as comfortable as possible. We invite you to contact us at Hurd Family Dental today to learn more.
