Shawn Anderson

The south end of Murrieta, where office parks give way to grassy hills, holds a specialist practice most patients hope they’ll never need. Shawn Anderson, an endodontist, occupies the second floor of a low-slung building at 25109 Jefferson Ave #220. Here, the focus stays on treating the interior complexities of teeth, from cracked roots to stubborn infections that linger past a simple filling. Endodontic care covers retreatments when a first root canal doesn’t quite take, apicoectomies on the tip of the root, and traumatic injury repairs for accidents that knock a tooth loose. Some patients arrive carrying dental trauma from a week-old mishap; others bring chronic discomfort that’s defied simpler solutions. The clinic’s schedule adjusts to bring relief when it’s needed, not only between nine-to-five slots. Call ahead to confirm availability, then follow the directions to the Jefferson office; use the Google Maps listing if the cross-streets aren’t familiar—turn north of Cawston or south of Avenida La Serra and look for the discrete #220 sign on the building’s façade. The phone number is (951) 816-6919; ring once and the line picks up.
