I am a new patient with this facility and I must say that my hygienist Tracy is absolutely awesome! Meeting Dr. Sahan was a pleasure, he is very nice and has a great sense of humor.

Dr. Salah saved my teeth!! I was in a bad way when I first starting seeing Dr. Salah. I had lost one of my front teeth and had another missing tooth which left me no way to chew. Dr. Salah put my mess back together and now I can smile without looking like a football player! It tears me up to think of how he changed my life. Other dentists I have seen told me they couldn’t help with my problems and just wanted to give me a dental plate. I thank god for this man & his compassion! He is the best dentist I have ever had in my life!!!
Michele Klinkman★★★★★
I really admire this place for taking emergent patients the same day when you call. They took my family members the same day I called in for major tooth aches. It’s a very pleasant place and I would recommend this place to all my family and friends. Thank you for all your help!! People need more places like this that care about when a patient is in major pain and need help now!! Thank you again!! You are all so wonderful..

You’ve just been told that the only solution for the pain in your tooth is the dreaded Root Canal. Don’t panic. We will explain the procedure and make your comfort throughout the treatment a priority.
What is a
Root Canal?
A root canal treatment is performed to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
Some indications of the need for root canal treatment may be:
- Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
- Severe decay or an injury that creates an abscess (infection) in the bone
Infected/Inflamed
Pulp Tissue
Technically “root canal” is not the name of the procedure but refers instead simply to the natural cavity found in the center of the tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area inside the root canal. The tooth’s nerve lies within the root canal. Occasionally, the internal soft tissue (or pulp) of the tooth becomes infected and can result in a serious infection if left untreated.
In fact, the procedure that laymen refer to as a “root canal” is actually known as a pulpectomy to dentists. A pulpectomy is an endodontic treatment to cure an infected root canal. In the old days, damage to the core of a tooth usually meant it had to be removed. Today, however, a “root canal” procedure (or pulpectomy) disinfects and refills the inside of the tooth, thus preventing pain and limiting damage to the tooth.
The Root Canal
Treatment Procedure
The tooth is first anesthetized then a hole is made down into the pulp. Our periodontist uses tiny instruments to extract the remaining pulp from the tooth, thoroughly disinfecting the tooth canal in the process. Once disinfected, the interior of the tooth is filled with an inert material that helps prevent further infection.
At All About Smiles we are trained to perform endodontic treatment.
