What to do while you wait for your Hammond 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.

Hammond emergency dentist FAQ
Need a Hammond dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.
Should I go to a Hammond 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 Tangipahoa Parish generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Hammond clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
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 Hammond slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Can you help if I am visiting Hammond and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Hammond partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Hammond?
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 Hammond partner dentists can start the same day.
