Does anyone have decent dentist recommendations for a 17 year old girl in the Baton Rouge area?

Long story short, over the weekend my daughter was out back in the yard with her cousin playing softball. The ball was hit with a bat and it beamed my daughter straight in the mouth. One of her teeth looks to have been impacted upwards into her gums a bit. It wasn't causing her much pain before but the wife wants me to go get her checked out on Tuesday.

I have found these two resources to help so far but looking for recommendations of some TD users that might have more personal experience with this.

We have Blue Cross Blue Shield dental insurance provided through my work.

Why you specify 17 year old girl. You cut down the number of useful responses by 90% by saying that.

I use David Arrington in Gonzales. Never had a problem. Regardless of dentist you use just call them ahead of time to pre-check the insurance.

For a "17 year old girl"? Aren't all dentist qualified to look at all ages? I don't understand what you are asking.

Because some dentists are more "kid friendly" than others.

Went to Dr Ripple when I was younger but have been going to Dr Montalbano for years now. Good people.

Even though it's in Denham Springs, I wonder what people think of Bencaz.

Fernandez is awesome, as is his wife. I went to school with both. Ron Gioe is another great dentist in Baton Rouge.

I was recommended to Fernandez. He must be really good because I tried to make an appointment, and everything was booked for at least a month.

I go to Kirby Perry. Incidentally, I went this morning for a cleaning and would definitely recommend him. But I never needed him for something as serious as your situation.

Dr Mike Montalbano is probably the best cosmetic dentist in town. That's who you need to call.

Pfft.

His magazines are way old and I don't appreciate his jokes. They offend me.

Dr. Rick

Awesome guy, great dentist, great staff.

We met him 5-6 years back at a tailgate. Started tailgating with him every game. Eventually all our friends and family now use his practice.
