Operating in Encinitas since 2007, the endodontic practice of Dr. Behnaz Cheikh brings training from the University of Minnesota, UCSF School of Dentistry, and USC School of Dentistry to a referral-based root canal office at 681 Encinitas Boulevard. The triple-university background supports diagnosis and treatment of complex pulpal and periapical pathology, with post-treatment jaw and facial pain cases involving musculoskeletal coordination through CORE Orthopaedic Medical Center when structural components contribute to symptom persistence. Active membership in the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, and the California Dental Association maintains alignment with current endodontic treatment standards. The practice accepts referrals from general dentists throughout the Encinitas Boulevard corridor and greater North County San Diego, providing consultation in both English and French. Post-endodontic myofascial tension in the pterygoid and masseter muscles can compound recovery timelines, and the practice coordinates jaw-tension relief through therapeutic bodywork at Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage Encinitas. Retreatment of previously failed root canals employs operating microscope magnification with ultrasonically activated sodium hypochlorite irrigation and warm vertical condensation obturation for calcified and C-shaped canal morphologies.
