Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal Therapy to Save a Damaged, Infected, or Decayed Tooth
Root canal therapy, or endodontic treatment, involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of the tooth and filling it with a special material to seal and protect it. This enables patients to keep their natural tooth rather than having it extracted. Our experienced and skilled endodontist, Dr. Ahmed Sadek, provides root canal treatments at Marina Endodontics in Long Beach, California.
