From Walnut Grove, our office is one highway and about 12 minutes away. Head west on US 14 for roughly 8 miles into Tracy, and we're on 3rd Street downtown. Call (507) 555-0142 before you leave so a same-day appointment and a dentist are waiting for you. We don't take walk-ins, so the call matters.
The $539.47 figure is an estimated maximum, not a fixed fee. It covers a limited emergency exam, one dental X-ray and a CBCT (3D) scan if the dentist needs one. Your actual charge depends on the imaging you need, and a CBCT scan is not always necessary. Treatment is charged separately and explained before any work starts.

How far is our office from Walnut Grove?
About 8 road miles, or 12 to 15 minutes in normal driving. Walnut Grove sits on US 14 in Redwood County, and Tracy is the next town west on the same highway. There are no turns to speak of until you reach town. In winter, blowing snow can close stretches of US 14, so check road conditions at 511mn.org before you head out.
Same-day emergency dental care for Walnut Grove patients
We're open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and we hold same-day times for emergencies. That covers a cracked molar, a swollen gum, a wisdom tooth flare-up, a crown that came off at supper or a tooth knocked loose during a ball game at the city park.
One of our dentists examines the tooth, takes the X-ray and any 3D imaging needed, tells you what's wrong and what it costs, and in most cases treats it the same visit. You don't need to have been here before.
What to do about a weekend or evening toothache in Walnut Grove
Our office is closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and in the evenings after 4:00 PM. The phone is still answered by a real person. Call (507) 555-0142, give your name, number and what's wrong, and the first opening on the next office day is held for you.
Some problems can't wait for that. If swelling spreads toward the eye or down the neck, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or if bleeding won't stop, go to the emergency department at Sanford Tracy Medical Center, the closest hospital to Walnut Grove. Hospitals treat spreading infection and serious injuries but generally don't fix the tooth itself. Call us once you've been seen.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Walnut Grove patients

Frequently asked questions
Can I come straight from Walnut Grove without calling?
Please call first. We don't take walk-ins, and the call lets us have a room and a dentist ready when you arrive, so you're not driving 8 miles to wait. Call (507) 555-0142 and we'll give you a time.
What if my child knocks out a tooth at the Wilder Pageant or the park?
If it's an adult tooth, hold it by the white part, rinse it gently, and try to put it back in or keep it in milk. Call us right away. If it's a baby tooth, don't put it back, but still call so the dentist can check the area.
Is there an emergency dentist in Walnut Grove itself?
Our office is in Tracy, about 12 minutes west. We hold same-day emergency times Monday through Thursday for patients from Walnut Grove and the rest of Redwood County.
