LiveDentist assists in treating general and emergency dental issues for patients who may not be able to go to the dentist office due to scheduling, travel, or lack of insurance by receiving care from the comfort of their home or office. We provide a service that is designed to connect you with board-certified dentists near you who are ready to provide fast information to deal with any type of dental issue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We created this service as a means of offering access to patients with questions regarding oral health and dental well-being. We are dedicated to assisting you with finding answers to questions concerning all forms of dentistry.

We are here to help you receive the care you need without the need to wait for an appointment with a board-certified dentist. We do this through the use of virtual dentistry, which is designed to address any urgent dental and oral health matters without the need to visit an emergency room or urgent care clinic. In most cases, this is a temporary solution that can reduce pain until more comprehensive treatment can be administered in a dental office.

For non-emergency concerns, it can sometimes take days or even weeks to secure an appointment with a dentist. Through LiveDentist you can speak with one of our many dental professionals to discuss your problem and take steps to solve the matter, sometimes in minutes. Not days or weeks. If a specific treatment is necessary (including but not limited to x rays, a tooth abscess, chronically bad breath, needing dental work, wanting a second opinion, tooth pain, infected tooth, dental infection, bacterial infection, and any tooth infection treatment) we can help you set that appointment with a dentist in your area.

At LiveDentist, our online doctors provide compassionate care.

A tooth infection often has many symptoms, with the primary tooth infection symptom being pain at the infected site. The pain from a tooth infection can sometimes be severe. A tooth infection might also have swelling, and a tooth infection might cause you to have a fever. A tooth abscess might occur with a tooth infection – a tooth abscess is a pocket of pus within a tooth caused by an infection.

No. LiveDentist is intended to act as a service that puts patients in touch with dental professionals as a means to open a line of communication to discuss pressing oral and dental health concerns. Our dentists are highly skilled and ready to discuss any concerns you may have and offer treatment options to solve your problem.

LiveDentist does not diagnose the patient directly, does not offer any form of treatment, nor writes prescriptions for medications that might be necessary to treat an oral or dental health matter. This service only matches patients with dentists and helps to coordinate an office appointment should one be needed. LiveDentist must NEVER be considered a substitute for an in-person visit with your dental professional.

Yes, you may contact as many dentists as you wish. Many patients will choose to seek out second and even third opinions after an initial consultation with one of our LiveDentist professionals. You are not limited by the number of dentists you are allowed to speak with about your dental concerns.

You may also continue working with your personal dental professional in conjunction with LiveDentist-affiliated dentists. If your dentist is part of the LiveDentist network you may interact with him or her through the service. If your dentist is not a member of the LiveDentist network, he or she is free to apply for membership.

That depends. We are a growing network and expanding rapidly. Simply input your zip code and you can be able to see which dentists are available to contact.
