Endodontics · Racine, WI
Saving natural teeth by treating infection and relieving deep tooth pain.
Save your natural tooth and get lasting relief from dental pain with gentle root canal therapy from our compassionate team at iDental. Root Canal Treatment also known as Endodontic Treatment is designed to remove infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth, which is often the true source of deep, lingering toothaches and sensitivity. By cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, we can stop the infection, reduce discomfort, and help you keep your natural tooth instead of needing an extraction.

How Root Canal Treatment Works
Watch This
Root canal therapy, or a root canal, is a procedure that treats infection or damage inside the tooth. By removing the inflamed or infected pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it, we can stop pain and save the tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a root canal hurt?
We use anesthesia to numb the tooth, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort after treatment is common but manageable.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canal procedures take 60–90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.
Is there a recovery period?
You can return to normal activities immediately, although you should be gentle with chewing until fully healed.
Is a root canal better than pulling the tooth?
In many cases, yes. A root canal stops the infection and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of needing an extraction. Your dentist will review your X-rays and explain the best option for your tooth.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Many treated teeth, especially back teeth, need a crown to protect them and restore full chewing strength. We’ll let you know if a crown is recommended for your tooth.
Does insurance cover root canal treatment?
Many plans cover part of the cost. We accept ALL State Insurances, including Medicaid, and a wide range of private plans. If you don’t have insurance, ask about the iDental Premier Plan and flexible financing through Cherry and Sunbit.
