Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care

Can you fix a chipped or broken tooth the same day?

Yes. At Model Dentistry, we offer same-day chipped tooth repair and broken tooth restoration for patients in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas including Central, Brownsfield, and Village St. George. Depending on the severity of the chip or break, treatment may include dental bonding, a crown, or a veneer. If you’ve chipped a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water, save any pieces, and call us right away at (225) 261-3360.

What should I do if I have a severe toothache?

A severe toothache often signals an underlying issue such as an infection, abscess, or deep decay. Rinse with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relief, and avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum. Then contact Model Dentistry for an urgent dental care appointment. We’ll diagnose the cause and provide fast relief — same-day appointments are available for patients experiencing dental pain in Baton Rouge, Central, Denham Springs, Zachary, and Baker.

Do you accept walk-in emergency dental patients?

We accommodate walk-in emergency patients whenever possible and prioritize same-day emergency appointments. If you’re in pain, don’t wait — call us at (225) 261-3360 and we’ll work to get you seen as quickly as possible. We serve emergency dental patients from Baton Rouge, Central, Denham Springs, Zachary, Baker, and the surrounding area.

What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out or displaced tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, or signs of infection such as swelling or fever. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call our office — our team will help you determine the best course of action and schedule an appointment if needed.

How much does emergency dental care cost?

The cost of emergency dental treatment depends on the type and severity of the issue. A simple repair like dental bonding for a chipped tooth will cost less than a root canal or extraction. At Model Dentistry, we accept most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options so cost doesn’t stand between you and the care you need. Contact us for a cost estimate specific to your situation.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

In many cases, yes — if you act quickly. Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Then get to Model Dentistry as soon as possible — the best chance of saving a knocked-out tooth is within 30 minutes of the injury. Call (225) 261-3360 on your way in.
