Dr. Saidha was born and raised in Kenya, East Africa. She was born into an Indian family that migrated to Kenya in the 1970s. Dr. Saidha had a great appreciation for the healthcare field as both her parents were medical professionals. They strived to help their rural community which sparked an interest in Dr. Saidhas heart to help others. At the young age of 10, Dr. Saidha attended a prestigious international boarding school to which she attended till the completion of her secondary education. During this time she became trilingual; fluently speaking Swahili, Hindi, and English. This experience provided a level of independence, intelligence, and confidence which she carried with her to the USA to continue her higher education.
Dr. Saidha attended the University of Maryland at College Park and obtained a Bachelor's Degree of Science. She continued her education at the University of Maryland Dental College in Baltimore and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2005. She completed a general practice residency (GPR) at the VA hospital in Baltimore. During this time, Dr. Saidha discovered her passion for endodontics. Her hard work and dedication allowed her to graduate top 15% of her class. These efforts earned her acceptance into the ivy league school, Columbia University. It was here that she received a certificate in Endodontics in 2009.
After gaining years of experience as an endodontist working at a specialty office, Dr. Saidha opened her very own practice; Maple Lawn Endodontics in 2015. She is now a member of various associations such as American Association of Endodontists, American Dental Association, and Maryland State Dental Association. She dedicates her time to her 2 beautiful children and husband. Dr. Saidhas hobbies include cooking, traveling and spending time with her friends and family.
It is also our belief that the prevention of disease is far more enjoyable, less costly, and more comfortable for all concerned. So our goal is to help you achieve and maintain a healthy mouth as quickly and as economically as possible.
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for more invasive replacement procedures.
At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels and nerves that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by traumatic injury, deep decay, cracks, chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of an infection can be identified as visible damage of the tooth, swelling of the face, sudden change in sensitivity to temperature or pain and swelling in the tooth and gums.
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist may recommend endodontic (root canal) treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed.
After completion of your endodontic (root canal) therapy you may be instructed to return to your dentists office within a couple of weeks for the final restoration. Often times he/she will fabricate a custom crown to offer added protection for your tooth.
It is rare for complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. However, if a problem does occur, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, and re-infection of your tooth, continue to practice good dental hygiene and be evaluated regularly at your dentists office.

My 16 year old daughter was a bit nervous about having a procedure done. She said that it was so much better than she expected. She didn't even realize that they had finished. She said "did you do it already - I didn't feel anything."

I just did a root canal work done at Maple Lawn Endodontics. This is my first visit/experience with this place, I would have to say by far this is one of the finest experience I had in my dental need history. I had a very smooth/pleasant experience from the day I made a phone call to make an appointment to the day of the procedure. There service is second to none! I am one happy customer and highly recommend this place:)

I have to say this office went above and beyond to explain the process and options that I had. I went in inside of next steps and left assured that the right decision had been made. The team was so caring and compassionate during my experience, which ended up being an unexpected double root canal. I wasn't sure what to expect since I'd never had any major dental work and they exceeded any expectations I imagined. While it may be hard to believe I experienced little to know pain during my experience. Thank you to a great team!

Dr. Saidha took great care of my 9 year old daughter who needed a root canal after breaking her front tooth in a fall a couple of months ago. She explained everything clearly, helped her to stay calm during the procedure and followed up after to ensure she was doing well. I definitely recommend!

This was the easiest process I've ever done. I told them that I had to be finished by a certain time because I had a very important phone call they were able to accommodate me at a earlier time slot. The doctor was very knowledgeable, attentive, personal and the process was so easy. I was scared about having a root canal done and it was the easiest process ever. Thank you guys.

Dr. Saidha and her staff are wonderful, and handled my case with friendly efficiency. I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, I hope it's from Dr. Saidha. She even called me afterwards to make sure I was feeling ok. She's simply the best! Highly recommended!

The staff at Maple Lawn Endodontics is very welcoming and professional. Dr Saidah was very personable and very thorough in her explanation of my options and treatment plan ensuring that I understood everything that was going to be done. She is very communicative and follows up with you. She called me multiple times until she got me. I really appreciated how she and her staff made me feel comfortable. Thank you.
