Dr. Jacob Wellentin Hashagen

Endodontics focuses on what happens inside the tooth—specifically the pulp and root tissues—and Dr. Jacob Wellentin Hashagen specializes in these precise treatments. Cracked teeth, abscessed roots, sudden sensitivity, and lingering discomfort after heat or cold exposure often point to issues endodontists address through root canal therapy. Trauma to a tooth’s nerve, secondary decay beneath an old filling, or persistent inflammation in the canal can also land patients here for evaluation and care.

Find Dr. Jacob Wellentin Hashagen inside the medical suite at 1240 High St UNIT 205 in Auburn, CA 95603, where the setting keeps endodontic procedures contained yet thorough. They handle nonsurgical root canal retreatment when prior attempts don’t resolve infection, as well as procedures on previously treated teeth showing new signs of pathology. Internal bleaching of darkened teeth, treatment for internal resorption, and diagnosis of referred pain pathways also fall within their scope. Running a periapical lesion to its source or performing an apicoectomy—resecting the root tip—are part of the standard toolkit.

If your dentist refers you after an X-ray reveals trouble below the gumline, a callback to (530) 820-3636 sets up an exam. Vertical root fractures, persistent apical periodontitis, or calcified canals that complicate access can be assessed before irreversible damage spreads. They avoid assumptions and start with modern imaging, then move to treatment only when findings support it—because not every crack or shadow needs immediate intervention.
