A dental root canal is a common endodontic procedure that is used to treat a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. At Cameo Dentistry, our experienced dentist use the latest techniques and equipment to provide safe and effective root canal treatments to our patients.

The root canal procedure begins with a comprehensive dental examination to evaluate the patient's oral health and determine if a root canal is necessary. We then administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth and create a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the pulp chamber.

Next, we remove the infected or damaged pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals using specialized tools. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and filled with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection and restore the tooth's strength and function. Finally, a dental crown or filling is placed over the tooth to provide added protection and support.

Dental root canals can be used to treat a range of dental issues, such as deep cavities, cracked or fractured teeth, and traumatic injuries. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years, providing optimal function and aesthetics.
