A toothache on Anna Maria Island is a bad time to discover how far the dentist is. Pier Dental is 17 miles from Holmes Beach in a straight line, and the road is longer.
So call (727) 363-6169 first. We offer same-day emergency appointments, and we can advise you on the way in.
A tooth that is loose or gone
After a fall or a blow, handle the tooth by the crown and keep it moist. Phone us immediately, because speed counts.
We assess the tooth and the bone around it.

Swelling, throbbing or a bad taste
These point toward infection, which will not clear without treatment. Dr. Pierpont locates the source and relieves it.
Fever or facial swelling means call right away.

Deep infection of the nerve
If decay has reached the pulp, a root canal clears the infection and saves the tooth. A crown typically follows.
Delay raises the risk of the problem spreading.

About Holmes Beach
Holmes Beach includes Key Royale, a bayside island that stayed uninhabited until a bridge connected it in 1960.
Getting off the island to see us involves bridges and the bay, so check traffic before you leave.
Phone (727) 363-6169 now. Payment arrangements, including CareCredit, can be handled once your pain is under control.
