What to do while you wait for your Chalmette appointment

  • Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
  • Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
  • Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
  • Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

Chalmette emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Chalmette dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.

What happens if I call at 3 a.m.?
A real person answers. For severe swelling or bleeding you will be advised whether the emergency room is safer. Otherwise we book the first Chalmette slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Do Chalmette emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Chalmette who treats children.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Chalmette clinic for treatment you choose to have.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Chalmette itself?
We always look inside Chalmette first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in St. Bernard Parish, and you can decline any option without charge.
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 Chalmette dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
