Meet Dr. Bianca Aboubakare

Phoenix Endodontic Group is proud to welcome endodontist Bianca Aboubakare, D.M.D. M.S.D. to its team of endodontic specialists at its Central Phoenix location.

Dr. Bianca Aboubakare specializes in performing root canals. Root canal therapy is needed when the pulp of the tooth is infected or damaged; the procedure relieves the patient’s pain and typically saves the natural tooth. She welcomes her former patients and looks forward to meeting the patients at Phoenix Endodontic Group.

“Getting patients to relax, laugh, and smile during and after treatment is my specialty,” she said. Dr. “Bianca’s” colleagues at Phoenix Endodontic Group describe her as kind, compassionate, and quick to put her patients at ease.

Dr. Bianca Aboubakare received her D.M.D from Western University of Health Sciences in 2019 and her Certificate in Endodontics, M.S.D in 2022 at the University of the Pacific. She completed a General Practice Residency at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center in 2020 and pursued an Endodontics Residency at the University of the Pacific in 2022. Her involvement in the dental community includes giving back through volunteering at numerous organizations.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Aboubakare to our practice,” said Dr. Jacqueline S. Allen, Founder of Phoenix Endodontic Group.  Her experience and passion for the field of Endodontics align perfectly with our mission to deliver the highest level of care possible to patients needing endodontic therapy.  “We believe Dr. Bianca’s contributions will further enhance our goal of being known as the best Endodontic Specialty clinic in the state of Arizona.”

Phoenix Endodontic Group is dedicated to providing exceptional endodontic and root canal therapy in a patient-friendly environment. We utilize state-of-the-art dental technology, including GentleWave® at our practice and do everything possible to provide our patients with a comfortable and positive treatment experience in our office.

For office hours, money-saving offers, or to book an appointment with Dr. Bianca visit our website or give us a call at 602-242-4745.

Introducing the GentleWave® System Root Canal Treatment Now Available in Phoenix Office

Through Innovative Technology, Phoenix Endodontic Group to Provide Patients with a Simpler and Less Invasive Option for Root Canal Therapy

Phoenix Endodontic Group, a leading endodontic practice in Phoenix, AZ., announced today its partnership with Sonendo, Inc., a leading dental technology company, to offer the revolutionary GentleWave® System with CleanFlow™ Technology, a less invasive and less painful alternative to traditional root canal therapy.

The GentleWave Procedure has redefined standard root canal treatment with a minimally invasive process that preserves tooth structure and promotes early healing. With a goal to save patients’ natural teeth, the system is designed to treat tooth decay by cleaning and disinfecting the microscopic spaces within teeth without the need to remove tooth structure. And with the addition of the CleanFlow procedure instrument, the GentleWave System now offers an even better patient experience and simpler workflow. According to an ongoing clinical trial sponsored by Sonendo, 99.5% of patients had no pain during a root canal procedure utilizing the GentleWave System with the addition of CleanFlow Technology.

“We are thrilled to introduce the GentleWave System with CleanFlow Technology into our practice and are confident that this marks an important milestone in the transformation of traditional root canal treatment,” said Dr. Jacqueline Allen. “We wholeheartedly support this trusted technology, which allows our patients to experience less pain and heightened comfort.”

The GentleWave System uses advanced fluid dynamics, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and accelerated chemistry to deliver an alternative to conventional root canal therapy – a procedure that is traditionally performed with a series of files used to scrape the inside of the tooth, often causing post-operative pain and discomfort for patients and requiring multiple visits to the doctor. With the GentleWave System, patients experience significantly less pain overall and more than 90% of procedures can be completed in a single visit.

“Our goal is to revolutionize the standard of care for root canal therapy. As more doctors use the GentleWave System, more patients can experience less invasive treatment,” said Joanne Lindberg, Vice President of Sales with Sonendo. “We are thrilled to see Phoenix Endodontic Group remaining at the forefront of embracing innovative technology, thereby enabling an enhanced patient experience and streamlined workflow.”

Celebrating 20 Years in Endodontics

This month, the entire country paused to reflect on the 20-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that shook us all in September 2001.  What also occurred in September 2001 was Dr Jacqueline Allen opening her own endodontic specialty practice in Phoenix, AZ.  Dr. Allen purchased the practice of Dr. Martin Goldman – his office was located at 19th Avenue & Tuckey Lane in Phoenix, AZ.

Over the years, Dr. Allen grew her business by acquiring the endodontic specialty offices of Dr. Charles L. Siroky and Dr. Joseph S. Dovgan.  In 2014, Dr. Susan Wood joined the practice and we began using the trade name “Phoenix Endodontic Group.”

“Over the last 20 years, I have been blessed to work with some of the best dentists in the Phoenix area”, said Dr. Allen.  “I am humbled by the confidence they place in me to take the very best care possible for their patients.”

For 20 years, the Phoenix Endodontic Group has been able to grow and prosper due to the hard work of all of the staff we have had on our team during this time.  A special mention goes to Suzie Salas who since 2007 has been Dr. Allen’s main assistant.  Additionally, since 2012, Kim Rowell has provided front office, administrative and PR support to our practice.  It takes a team effort to be able to provide the best in class service we are known for.

Our patients are the reason we are here in the first place.  Dr. Allen and her team are grateful for the opportunities we have had to meet and treat such wonderful people.  “My life has been enriched by meeting, treating and getting to know some amazing individuals”, said Dr. Allen.  “My patients mean the world to me.”  One of the biggest compliments Dr. Allen receives is when a patient self-refers themselves to our practice because of the care they received (and remember) on a prior visit.

Dentistry as a profession has changed significantly over the last 20 years.  Dr. Allen has made it a priority to always be on the technological cutting edge.  Use of CBCT’s, dental lasers and a huge investment in Continuing Education has helped Dr. Allen provide care using the latest technologies to go along with her “patient first” philosophy and approach.

We do not normally take the time to celebrate milestones, but all of us at Phoenix Endodontic Group feel that a 20- year anniversary is very special.  We want to thank everyone who has had a role in our success over the years:  our staff, patients, and referring partners alike.  We look forward to another 20 years of providing the best endodontic care that can be found anywhere.

Great Qualities Your Endodontist Should Have

EndodontistWhen you are trying to invest in something important – a car, say – it’s not enough to think about any type of motorized vehicle with four wheels that will get you from Point A to Point B. To get the best value for your money, you’ll have to think about how you live your life, what monthly payment you can afford, the size of your garage, and many other factors.

That same sort of individualized thinking comes into play when you have an infected or injured tooth and need to see a dental professional to fix it. You most likely will need an endodontist, a dentist who is a specialist in saving natural teeth. But there’s more to finding a good endodontist than just looking for the word in a practice’s name. Here are just a few qualities you’ll want to look for as you “comparison shop” for endodontists, to find the best specialist to work on your mouth.

Great Qualities Your Endodontist Should Have

  1. Specialized training. Endodontists receive two to three additional years of schooling after dental school, but because the field changes so rapidly, a commitment to continuing education is a must.  Membership in an organization such as the American Association of Endodontists can indicate a practitioner is invested in remaining up to date on their education.
  2. A commitment to your comfort. Endodontists are experts at managing pain and discomfort, even for patients who have had challenges in this area in the past. A good endodontist will focus on your comfort level and seek to maintain or improve it throughout all procedures that are undertaken.
  3. Skill with current technologies. Technological breakthroughs have revolutionized root canal treatment in the past 30 years. An endodontist’s use of these tools can make your recovery from treatment quicker and help you experience less discomfort.
  4. A high experience level with endodontic procedures. General dentists perform, on average, two root canals per week; an endodontist may perform as many as 25. This translates into greater familiarity with different challenges and how to solve them.
  5. A wide network of professional colleagues. Collaborating with a network of general dentists, fellow endodontists and other dental specialists means your endodontist can accept and make referrals with ease if your case calls for one.

“As endodontists, we are committed to pursuing the education, collaboration and professional excellence it takes to properly care for our clients,” says Dr. Jacqueline S. Allen, a partner with the Phoenix Endodontic Group.

TDO Software

From September 14th – 16th, 2017 the entire staff of Phoenix Endodontic Group took time off to attend the 17th Annual TDO Users Meeting at the Paradise Point Resort in San Diego, CA.  Dr Jacqueline Allen was among the first clinicians to purchase TDO (The Digital Office) and has attended every Users Meeting since 2003.  Phoenix Endodontic Group uses the annual TDO Meeting to attend lectures and presentations on team building, new research and scientific advancements in the field of Endodontics as well as updates and enhancements to the software.

Dr Gary B. Carr is the founder of TDO Software – he started the company about 20 years ago and over that time has changed the way dental clinicians practice Endodontics – use of the surgical microscope as a standard of care being the most obvious.  In order to start TDO, Dr Carr assembled a group of endodontists that shared his commitment to excellence in the profession.  At the 2017 TDO Users Meeting in San Diego, Dr Carr was able to reassemble the original team that did the research and development for what became TDO. Included in this group of exceptional endodontists was Dr. Joseph Dovgan (Joey D).  Dr. Allen purchased Dr. Dovgan’s practice in Paradise Valley, AZ in 2008, and to this day we continue Dr. Dovgan’s commitment to excellence in the field of endodontics.  The meeting welcome reception was a very emotional time for Dr. Carr as he paid tribute to his colleagues, his wife Jan and his long-time dental assistant, Joy Haskins.

In a lighthearted moment, Dr Carr recalled that 17 years ago he took all of his retirement savings ($200,000) and purchased an electron microscope in order to conduct his research.  He said he told Jan after the fact, and instead of being mad about it she said “It’s ok you know what you are doing.”  The rest, as they say, is history.

Dr. Allen is committed to continual training for staff on not only using TDO but also helping our team become stronger and more efficient.  TDO’s motto is “Best in Class” – that is what the Phoenix Endodontic Group aspires to be every day.

Rules for Today’s Workplace

Root Canals in ScottsdaleYou would think that the business of treating teeth with Root Canals in Scottsdale, Phoenix and Paradise Valley is boring business – I am here to tell you it is not. However, the workplace as we all used to know it has changed dramatically. This has to do mostly with changes in technology and the tools we use today to communicate with each other (internal), and with our patients and referring dentist offices (external).

Indeed the world has changed and rules that used to guide worker behavior and habits may no longer apply. Compared to today’s workplace, it feels like I began my business career at a time when “dinosaurs roamed the earth.” Contacting your co-workers wasn’t always just sending an Instant Message. Back in the day you had to be a little more creative.

1) Smoke Signals: Back when bartering was the foremost form of commerce, telling everyone that you had some hides to trade was as easy as sending a plume of smoke into the sky.
2) Morse Code: Samuel Morse brought texting to the 1830’s using dots and dashes, making it possible to ask your staff to”–..-/ -.-…–..”* without leaving your chair!
3) Long-Distance Calls: During the 1960’s, international calls would cost about $3.00 per minute – the equivalent of $25.00 today.
* Get my Coffee

Even in the stodgy old profession of dentistry, social media has forever changed the way business is done and how people communicate. If you are in pain and you need a root canal in Scottsdale, chances are you just type “Root Canal Scottsdale” into Google. Once you have found the name Phoenix Endodontic Group first in the search, you then access our web page and Facebook page. I am pretty sure that is how it is done today.

Mobile devices allow dental office staff to be more efficient and to look at information on their office in real time. This creates a challenge – understanding where the line is between work and personal as it relates to use of your own mobile device at work.

Here are 3 tips regarding social media/texting for employees in today’s workplace:

1. Put Family and Friends on Hold: Taking a few moments for personal calls and texts is ok as long as you keep it brief. Tell family members your hours so they know when they’ll hear back from you.
2. Friend request the Company, NOT your boss: Befriending coworkers and your boss on social media is a bad idea – you don’t want to mix work and play. That said, sharing company content online is a nice way to promote your company.
3. Texting at work is OK: Nowadays you are expected to be easily accessible which means email, messaging and even texting are all appropriate forms of workplace communication within office hours.

At Phoenix Endodontic Group, our staff understands that communication in our personal relationships and work relationships are constantly evolving and it’s important to be able to adapt in order to have a good work/life balance.

Phoenix Endodontic Group Volunteered At HopeFest

Phoenix EndodonticsTeam members of Phoenix Endodontic Group participated in the 2016 HopeFest event which took place April 15th-16th at CHASE Field in Phoenix.  This annual event provides a wide range of sevices to the homeless and economically challenged members of our community. The Central Arizona Dental Society Foundation was asked to help deliver the dental services at HopeFest over a two day period.

“This was such a great and it took many wonderful volunteers to make it a success,” said Dr. Jacqueline S. Allen, CADSF Board President.  “We were thankful to have dental teams come together to help get folks smiling again.”  Allen continued, “Several team members from offices across the Valley  volunteered over the two day period.” The following team members from Phoenix Endodontic Group participated:  Dr. Jacqueline Allen (Clinic Floor Director), Dallas Hedges (Endodontic Lead), Roxann Naithani (Patient Registration Lead) Hanh Duong (Patient Exit), Savannah Allen (X-Ray) and Kevin Conroy (Event Director).

Phoenix Endodontic Dr. Allen also wished to thank members of the Phoenix Endodontic Group’s extended “family” for their amazing efforts: Kristen Kingsley (Event Coordinator), Sarah Tate (Event Coordinator), Linda Shirey (Volunteer Lounge) and Dr. Carol Ford (Dental Routing).

Highlights from the 2-day dental clinic include:  $397,000 in free dental care delivered to 369 patients.  CADSF was also able to provide dentures, root canals and crowns – these services were all provided for the first time ever at HopeFest.

Thanks to the Central Arizona Dental Society Foundation and all of the volunteers for making 2016 HopeFest a big success.

After getting a root canal, it`s important to take care of your tooth to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. Here are some things to avoid after a root canal:

🦷Chewing on the Treated Tooth:
Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the restoration (such as a crown) is placed. The tooth may be temporarily weakened, and putting excessive pressure on it could lead to fractures.

🦷Eating Hard or Sticky Foods:
Steer clear of hard and sticky foods that could potentially damage the tooth or the temporary restoration. Opt for softer, easy-to-chew foods during the initial healing period.

🦷Hot and Cold Sensitivity:
You may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures after a root canal. Avoid consuming extremely hot or cold foods and beverages until the sensitivity subsides.

🦷Poor Oral Hygiene:
Continue to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. However, be gentle around the treated area. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid irritation.

Always follow the specific post-operative instructions provided by your endodontist. If you have any questions or concerns about your recovery, give us a call 📞 (602) 242-4745
