After-Hours Dental Emergencies
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency outside regular office hours, call (225) 372-7700. Our voicemail will direct you to after-hours instructions. For severe swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or trauma to the face and jaw, go to your nearest emergency room first. Â
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not sure if your situation requires emergency dental care? If you’re in pain, something is visibly damaged, or you’re worried, call us. Here are the most common emergencies we treat:
- Severe toothache or sudden tooth pain
- Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- Knocked-out tooth (time-sensitive, call immediately)
- Dental abscess or swelling in the mouth, jaw, or face
- Lost or loose filling, crown, or dental restoration
- Bleeding gums or mouth that won’t stop
- Broken or lost denture, bridge, or implant restoration
What to Do If You Knock Out a Tooth
A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if you act within 30–60 minutes. Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in a glass of milk. Then call (225) 372-7700 immediately.
Benefits of Professional Emergency Dentistry
Seeking professional care during a dental emergency offers many important benefits. Acting quickly can protect your oral health and prevent complications.
Immediate Pain Relief
Severe tooth pain can feel unbearable. Emergency dental care identifies and treats the root cause to provide quick relief. Addressing the problem early makes sure you are not left suffering longer than necessary.
Preventing Further Damage
Untreated dental issues, such as broken teeth or loose fillings, can worsen over time. Emergency care stabilizes the problem and protects your teeth and gums from further harm. Acting fast may also save a tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Reducing the Risk of Infection
Dental infections can spread to other parts of the body if not treated. Emergency dental care removes the infection and reduces the chance of complications. Timely intervention helps keep your overall health intact.
Customized Solutions
Every dental emergency is different. Emergency dentists create personalized treatment plans based on your specific condition and needs. Whether it is a filling, a crown, or pain management, the care is tailored to give you the best outcome.
Long-Term Oral Health Protection
Prompt care during emergencies prevents bigger problems down the road. Addressing issues early can help avoid costly treatments or permanent damage. Protecting your oral health now helps preserve your smile for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry
Does Grand Family Dentistry offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes. Same-day and next-morning emergency appointments are available in most cases. Multiple reviewers describe calling with a toothache or broken tooth and being seen within hours. Call (225) 372-7700 as early as possible because same-day slots can fill quickly. If you are in pain, call the practice directly rather than waiting for an online booking.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Common emergencies treated at Grand Family Dentistry include severe toothaches, broken or cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, a lost filling or crown, dental abscesses, and swollen or bleeding gums. When in doubt, call the office — the team will help you determine if you need to come in right away.
Can you treat a dental emergency the same day, or just diagnose it?
In most cases, same-day treatment is possible. Several reviewers mention having a root canal, extraction, or crown repair completed the same day they came in for an emergency. The practice is staffed and equipped to treat — not just assess — most urgent situations.
Do you treat emergency patients who are not existing patients?
Yes. New patients are welcome for emergency dental care. Call (225) 372-7700 and let the team know it is your first visit. They can gather your information over the phone so your appointment can move as quickly as possible when you arrive.
Is a toothache a dental emergency?
A toothache can be a dental emergency if the pain is severe, lasts more than a day or two, or is accompanied by swelling, fever, drainage, or a bad taste in your mouth. These may be signs of infection and should be evaluated promptly. Call Grand Family Dentistry right away so the team can help determine the next step.
What should I do before I can get to the dentist for a dental emergency?
For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist — ideally in milk or held in the cheek — and get to the dentist as soon as possible. For pain, over-the-counter pain relief and a cold compress can help temporarily. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums. Call the office for specific guidance on your situation.
What if my dental emergency happens after hours?
Call (225) 372-7700 and follow the voicemail instructions for after-hours emergencies. The practice’s emergency protocol is designed to get you the care you need as quickly as possible. If you have severe swelling, difficulty breathing or difficulty swallowing, go to your nearest emergency room.
How much does emergency dental care cost in Baton Rouge?
The cost of emergency dental care depends on the type of treatment needed. Grand Family Dentistry accepts most dental insurance plans and will discuss costs before beginning treatment. Payment options may also be available for patients without insurance.
