Acting Quickly to Save Your Tooth
When a tooth is infected or damaged, acting as quickly as possible could mean the difference between losing it and saving it.

At Liv Endodontics, we will make every effort to see you as quickly as possible when urgent care is needed. Call us right away to set up an appointment with our Livingston emergency dentists and find out what steps are required to protect your smile.

What Types of Dental Emergencies Can an Endodontist Treat?
Our team can help if your dental emergency involves infected or damaged dental pulp. Signs that root canal treatment might be needed include:
- Severe pain in the tooth in question.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
- A tooth that has become noticeably darker.
- A pimple-like sore on the gums.
- A tooth that is severely cracked or broken.
If you suspect that you need a root canal but aren’t completely sure, get in touch with our office to see what our team recommends.
How We Care for Dental Emergencies
When you call our office, we’ll ask about your situation and give you tips for managing your symptoms at home, then we’ll schedule an appointment for you. Once you’re in our treatment chair, we can examine the tooth to see how extensive the damage is. We’ll share our findings with you and explain what treatment options are available (as well as how much they cost). Finally, we’ll carry out the agreed-upon procedures in order to restore the health of your smile.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
The amount you end up paying for emergency dental care isn’t necessarily set in stone. It largely depends on the nature of your emergency as well as the severity of the damage that has already been done. Additionally, when it comes to root canal treatment, the specific tooth matters; procedures involving the front teeth tend to cost less since they are easier to work with compared to the back teeth. An estimate will be provided once we have examined your smile.
