Frequently Asked Questions

Most dental insurance plans cover about 50% of the cost of root canals if you see an in-network provider. For families with Medicaid, root canals are typically covered for children. However, in some states, Medicaid does not cover root canals for adults. For elderly patients, regular Medicare does not cover endodontic treatment, but many Medicare Advantage plans cover procedures like root canals, helping seniors save on dental expenses. If you’re looking for a dental insurance plan to help you save the most on dental care, we created this checklist for you!
Root canals and other endodontic treatments can be expensive. We recommend contacting several offices to compare prices for the specific tooth you need treated, since costs are often different for teeth in the front and back of the mouth. For example, you may want to ask about the fee for a root canal on molar tooth #31. Also, fees can vary significantly between offices for both patients with and without insurance. Another way to save is by checking with a dental school, where student dentists provide care under supervision at costs that are often much lower than private practice rates.
Endodontists are specialists trained to perform root canals and other procedures to treat dental infections. When a tooth becomes infected due to a large cavity or trauma, a root canal is often required to save the tooth. If a tooth is infected, there are some situations where extracting the tooth may be a better option than having a root canal. While some general dentists do root canals, it’s often beneficial to see an endodontist. Endodontists receive advanced training and typically have more experience in these specialized treatments compared to general dentists.
