When the nerves of a tooth become infected, root canal treatment may be able to save the tooth from extraction. We encourage you to visit Dr. Ellie's Gentle Dentistry if you have a tooth that has become painful, sensitive to temperature, or is surrounded by swollen gum tissue, as you may need a root canal in San Diego, California. To schedule your appointment with our dentist, Dr. Elhameh Allamehzadeh, please stop by our office or call 619-542-1800 to contact our team.
