About Dr Samah Abou El Niaj

Dr Samah Abou El Niaj is a specialist endodontist in Abu Dhabi with a DDS and Master’s degree in Endodontics from Ajman University. She sees patients at AHLI Specialists Medical Center in Al Shamkha and provides consultations in Arabic and English.

An endodontic appointment first identifies the source of pain. Not every toothache is caused by inflamed pulp; a filling, gum care, bite adjustment or another treatment may be appropriate instead of root canal therapy.

Dental FAQs with Dr Samah Abou El Niaj

How Do I Choose an Endodontist in Abu Dhabi?

Look for specialist endodontic qualifications, a clear diagnosis supported by examination and X-rays, and an explanation of tooth-preservation prospects, alternatives and follow-up. Dr Samah holds a Master’s degree in Endodontics from Ajman University and assesses every case before confirming treatment.

When Should I See a Specialist Endodontist?

Seek assessment for persistent or night pain, pain on biting, prolonged hot or cold sensitivity, swelling or an abscess, or symptoms in a previously treated tooth. Symptoms can have other causes, so diagnosis is essential.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Treatment is usually performed under local anaesthesia to remove the inflamed tissue causing pain. Temporary tenderness can occur afterwards; the team explains follow-up instructions and when to contact the clinic.

Does Dr Samah Assess Root Canal Retreatment Cases?

Dr Samah assesses teeth with persistent symptoms or new problems after previous treatment and determines from the examination and X-rays whether retreatment or another option is appropriate.
