Tooth decay is a destruction of the tooth enamel. It occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as milk, pop, raisins, cakes or candy are frequently left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result. Over a period of time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay.
When the pulp is diseased or injured, it dies. The most common cause of pulp death is a cracked tooth or a deep cavity. Both of these problems can let germs enter the pulp. Germs can cause an infection inside the tooth. Left without treatment, pus builds up at the root tip, in the jawbone, forming a 'pus-pocket' called an abscess. An abscess can cause damage to the bone around the teeth.
A root canal is a procedure to remove and clean the infected pulp tissue. By removing the infected pulp, the tooth can usually be saved. Once the pulp has been removed, medication may be placed inside the empty chamber to stop infection. Eventually the chamber are refilled. It may be necessary, following a root canal, to crown the tooth.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. David B. Lee for over 15 years since our children were young. Dr. Lee and his team are extremely friendly, professional and have always made us feel like family. He has a gentle touch and provides a pain-free experience. He is constantly learning and uses the latest technology and equipment. They offer flexible hours and are always accommodating, especially in emergency situations, or when our kids are home visiting from college. The office is impeccably clean, and I've felt very safe over the years, especially in our current conditions. Dr. Lee is a graduate of UCLA, and I understand gives one day a week through USC's pediatric residency program. I feel proud to now be sending my granddaughter to Dr. Lee, knowing that he is constantly educating himself, staying abreast of the latest technology, and working with children weekly to help them have a positive experience through dentistry. I would highly recommend Dr. David B. Lee and his staff to everyone of all ages.

I was in the market for a dentist that I could trust. I have found the place! Dr. Lee is incredible. He was very kind and informative of my dental needs. I love that they have updated technology in electronic x-rays that they out on a screen in front of you. The assistants are friendly and tell you everything that they are going to do. I feel COVID safe at this place because I have witnessed the cleaning protocols that are implemented. The assistant wiped down every piece of equipment they touched. This place does not pressure in trying to sell you dental work that is not needed. My wife and I do not need to search anymore. We have found our family dentist. Be careful. There are two dentistry located in that same shopping complex that both have the same last name, Lee. Make sure you go to the Dentistry that is located on the southwest corner of the shopping complex. Look for Dr. David B. Lee.
