Escondido Endodontics is a dental practice that specializes exclusively in the diagnosis and treatment of endodontic conditions.

The specialty of endodontics generally is about removing the diseased tissue contained in the root canal spaces of teeth and replacing it with a biologically compatible filling material. However, there are other aspects of endodontics to be considered.

Endodontists are trained in differential pain diagnosis and general dentists frequently rely on our specialty expertise to pinpoint the source of a patient's acute or chronic pain. The retreatment of an existing root canal filling is usually performed before a surgical procedure is considered. Escondido Endodontics offers the latest techniques in tooth disassembly with the routine use of high powered surgical microscopes and instrumentation with ultrasonic devices that remove root canal fillings, posts, and broken files while preserving remaining tooth structure. Surgery is sometimes required to remove resorbed areas of the root and inflammatory tissue that inhibits bone healing. All of these services are offered in our practice.

Both Drs. Hanlon and Jerome are fundamentally consistent in their approaches and expertise to perform differential pain diagnosis, treatment planning, nonsurgical, and surgical treatment. Their shared professional philosophies and treatment techniques solidify the team approach that Escondido Endodontics provides.
