ROOT CANAL THERAPY
Root Canal Therapy in Independence, Missouri
Safeguard Your Smile
If your tooth suffers an infection, Dr. Roberson will suggest root canal therapy. We encourage you to avoid focusing on the procedure itself, which most patients report results in no more than the mild discomfort associated with a dental filling. Instead, Dr. Roberson and our dental team invite you to consider the wonderful benefits of this restorative treatment.
What To Expect From Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a treatment that removes infected pulp from your “root canals” or the lowermost hollows of your teeth. Within these structures exist pulp, nerves, blood, and blood vessels, which keep your tooth alive and healthy. When bacteria make their way down into your root canals, either through a cavity or crack in your tooth, an infection occurs. This infection threatens the life of your tooth.
Dr. Roberson will numb your tooth and surrounding area to prep you for root canal therapy. He will carefully remove the infected pulp. He will remove decayed tooth tissue within the opening and smooth the remaining tooth. After administering a dental filling, he may complete the procedure with a dental crown.
