The most common endodontic treatment is a root canal treatment which involves the removal of the soft center of the tooth called the pulp. This procedure is needed to save the tooth when inflammation or infection is present. During root canal treatment, the internal space in the tooth (the root canal system) is disinfected and filled with a bio-compatible material.
I was so nervous for my root canal - I had one In another city several years ago and found it very uncomfortable. I get extremely nervous at the dentist, but Dr. Jesperson was fantastic. He made sure I was comfortable and numb during the entire case and explained all that he was doing. Though I hope to not need another root canal, but 10/10 would be back here again if needed.
The endodontist treats the tooth by removing the diseased pulp within the root canal, meticulously cleaning and shaping the inside of the tooth, disinfecting and drying the space that is left, and then filling and sealing the space with a biocompatible material. Your family dentist will then restore the tooth with a crown or other restoration soon after the treatment to protect the tooth. The tooth will function like any other tooth and will need the same daily and professional care as any other tooth.

I am writing this review about 2 weeks after the root canal. Wanted to find out if what I was told during and after the procedure would come to pass. It did. Back in the day (my day) root canals took about 3 visits, the process was not micro surgery and then there was the competency of the dentist. I was recommended to have a root canal with this in my memory.
I was incredibly surprised at how fast, efficient and painless the root cana procedure was. There was residual irritation after the procedure as they are working around the jaw bone. I was sore for 2.5 days as was explained. The Tylenol and Ibuprofen worked to alleviate the soreness. Dr. Nordeen, Elise, Sarah and others were seriously professional and fun to work with. They communicated with me constantly. If you need an endodontic procedure, GO HERE!

This office was highly recommended by my dentist and I can see why. Everyone was friendly, professional and efficient. Dr. Jespersen and Megan went out of their way to answer my many questions and make sure I was comfortable. He did a great job with my root canal and I'm feeling better already. The gal at the front desk was awesome too! (long dark curls). I would highly recommend them!

I saw Dr. Jespersen for a root canal. When I called I had been in constant pain for over a week. They were able to get me in the next afternoon. The whole team was amazing! Dr. Jespersen and his assistant went above and beyond to make me feel as comfortable as I could be during the procedure. He communicated very well with me to make sure that I was totally numb before beginning.
I did not feel any pain at all during the procedure and had no pain after. I was very anxious about this appointment. I had never had a root canal done before and I suffer from severe anxiety and dental phobia. The only thing that could have made the experience better is if they offered some type of sedation for anxiety, like Valium or nitrous oxide.
My regular dentist has to give me 2 Valium just to do basic dental work because my anxiety is soo bad. They really did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and I highly recommend them!

Like being at the spa. After my root canal was done, I said, "I'm done already? That was like a spa treatment!" While I was somewhat joking, I actually felt like I was so well taken care of from the moment I walked in the door that it did feel like going to a spa. I was even running late due to an accident on the highway, and instead of being upset, they asked me first if I was okay.
I also noticed that everyone used my name and said it correctly, which isn't normal. I have an unusual pronunciation of my name and was surprised that every person got it right! Every part of the process was explained to me, and I felt like I was actually cared for. As a mom, that really means something to me. Normally, I'm the one who soothes the boo boos.; I went in with pain at 10/10 and left with no pain, even after the numbing medication wore off.
I'm on day three and the worst post-procedure pain I've had is a 4/10, which is better than normal. I'm so grateful for Dr. Young and the entire staff! I will always highly recommend them for their excellent patient care and attention to detail.

I'm not one to write a great review about a professional service because I simply expect a professional job to be done, but Endodontic Specialists of LaCrosse WI was over the top! From the moment I stepped in the door I was treated with caring kindness. Dr Jesperson and his assistant explained exactly where my tooth pain was coming from and what needed to be done.
The root canal took about an hour with absolutely no pain. Post procedure instructions were well explained. I'm sitting at home now very very satisfied. I HIGHLY recommend Endodontic Specialists of LaCrosse!
