What to do while you wait for your Shreveport 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: knocked-out tooth, broken braces or wire, cracked tooth.

Should I go to a Shreveport 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 Caddo Parish generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Which ZIP codes in Shreveport do you cover?
All of them, from 71101 to 71150 and every code in between. If your ZIP is in Caddo Parish, we will find the nearest open clinic.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Shreveport itself?
We always look inside Shreveport first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Caddo Parish, and you can decline any option without charge.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Shreveport?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Caddo Parish partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Shreveport clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
