What to do while you wait for your Alexandria appointment

  • Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
  • Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
  • Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
  • Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of an Alexandria dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Alexandria?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Rapides Parish partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Alexandria?
Often the first visit relieves pain by opening the tooth and removing the infected nerve, with the root canal completed at a second visit. Several Alexandria partner dentists can start the same day.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Alexandria?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Alexandria network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Alexandria itself?
We always look inside Alexandria first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Rapides Parish, and you can decline any option without charge.
