Your tooth consists of two main parts: the crown, which is that part of the tooth above the gum and visible in your mouth; and the root or roots, which is that part of the tooth that lies beneath the gum and is surrounded by bone. Inside each root is a channel that runs the length of the tooth. This channel is the root canal and contains the pulp (nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissue), which is often referred to as the nerve of the tooth. The pulp may be irreversibly damaged by bacteria associated with decay, very deep restorations, fractures, trauma, or periodontal disease.
In order to preserve a tooth in which this has occurred, it is necessary to remove the diseased pulp tissue. This procedure is known asendodontic therapy. Since endodontic therapy is concerned with removing only the pulp from the root canal, the root will continue to function normally because the supporting tissues remain intact. It is advisable to remove the injured pulp because it may become infected or act as an irritant to the tissues surrounding the tooth.

Fantastic experience. Going to the dentist always gives me anxiety. The staff were super nice more importantly they were professional and kind. Always asking if I was comfortable. Everything was explained to me in detail beforehand. The office is immaculate. I have to say I was very impressed and will not go anywhere else. Many thanks to the Dr. and staff.

I was able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Singh for an evaluation and treatment. On the day I called for my appointment everything that would take place during my visit was explained to me in detail including all paperwork that needed to be filled out prior to my arrival. On the day of my appointment I was greeted by the staff and Dr. who went over everything again to make sure I understood what would take place during my visit. During my entire time in the office the staff and Dr. made sure I was comfortable and understood what would happen next while I was there. Before I left, the staff and Dr. went over my aftercare instructions to make the rest of my day was as pain-free as possible. On the following day Dr. Singh contacted me to see how I was doing, which made me know Axis Endodontics was the right choice for my dental needs.

Could a root canal be a pleasant experience? It definitely was with Dr. Singh and his team. They were ready for me at my scheduled time and finished my procedure in less than an hour. The procedure was painless and my tooth felt as good as new that night.

Came here to redo a root canal that was not done correctly the first time at another Dental office. Dr. Singh is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. His staff was amazing and welcoming. I left there with no pain and confident that it was correctly this time. Please do not let any dentist do your root canals, go to a specialist like Dr. Singh. You will save yourself money and time from having to get them redone.

Dr Singh n his assistant were so patient and understanding. I had a last minute Tooth emergency and they saw me the same day. Dr. Singh explained every step and was very gentle and comforting through the root canal i had. He also called the next day to check on how i was doing. The front desk girl was also very friendly and helpful. I cant say enough about my experience.

The staff, are overly kind, helpful, and friendly. Dr Singh and his assistant are very thorough, kind, I felt comfortable and understanding to what was going on with my procedure and they work very quick and very well together, but didn't make me feel like I was being rushed. Hopefully I never have to see an entomologist again but if I do I would definitely go back to Axis, highly recommend Dr. Singh and his establishment.

Thankful that they were able to see me so quickly. Very professional. Office was immaculate. They use technology that I didn't know existed. I had minimal pain the next day which was expected. Hope I never need another root canal but if I do this is where I'll have it done

Dr. Alsuhail and staff were great! I was greeted with smiles when I arrived. Having a natural fear of dentist, they made me feel as comfortable as possible and the procedure went very well. I truly felt I was in good hands from the moment I walked in.

I cannot reccomend Dr Singh enough. He is the ultimate professional. My general dentist wanted to perform my root canal. I insisted going to Dr Singh he has the most advanced equipment is is extremely skilled in therapy. In my case I was pain free after the novacaine wore off. I had been suffering the prior 2 days in extreme pain. Thank you

From the staff, dental asstiant (which I wish I remembered her name so I can post it because she was great)...to Dr. Singh everyone was professional, accommodating and very nice. I went in with awful tooth pain and they took care of me and got me outta pain. I need more work done but have to say, with such great care and service I'm actually not dreading it. Definitely would recommend them!
