What to do while you wait for your Baton Rouge appointment

  • Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
  • Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
  • Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
  • Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Baton Rouge?
Photo ID, a list of medications, your insurance card if you have one, any broken tooth pieces (in milk), and a way to pay the exam fee.
Should I go to a Baton Rouge hospital ER for tooth pain?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in East Baton Rouge Parish generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.

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 a Baton Rouge dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Baton Rouge?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Baton Rouge network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
