Root canal therapy is a very common dental procedure. According to recent statistics in the United States alone almost 41,000 root canals are performed every day and close to 15 million are done over the course of a year. Because it has high success rate, a root canal procedure is considered one of the most effective methods of saving and retaining a tooth that has been severely compromised by dental decay or injury.
As the result of a dental injury a tooth can be partially pushed into its socket. When this happens immediate dental care is required to reposition and stabilize the tooth. If a permanent tooth has been dislodged, a root canal treatment is usually needed and should be initiated within a few days of the injury.

Always able to make room for same day emergency appointments. Awesome staff and payment options. Dr Ludington explains what needs to be done and tells you straight up the cost of a certain procedure. Would and have recommend him to any family member or friend.

Do NOT go to this dentist under any circumstances. He tried to sell me 3 root canals, I had one done and never had a problem with either of the other two. Makes me wonder if the one I had done was needed either. His charges are approximately DOUBLE what a reputable dentist would charge.
And even when he gets paid, he is not happy. He imposes an interest policy that was never discussed previously. This dentist is a nightmare, and I would advise everyone to avoid him.
