When a tooth breaks or an ache keeps you up, you need a person, not a voicemail. Call Pier Dental at (727) 363-6169 and describe what is going on. We will tell you what to do, then work to find a same-day appointment.
We are about 19 miles from Memphis in a straight line, and the drive takes longer. That is why we ask you to call before leaving.
A tooth that hurts all the time
Constant or throbbing pain, a swollen gum or a bad taste may mean infection. Rinse with warm salt water, and do not put aspirin on the gum.
We find the cause and treat it, sometimes with a root canal. Go to an emergency room if swelling spreads to your eye or throat.

A broken or cracked tooth
If a piece breaks off, save it if you can and rinse your mouth. Sharp edges can be covered with sugar-free gum or wax until you arrive.
We repair breaks with bonding, a crown or a root canal, depending on the depth.

Injury to the mouth
A hard fall or a sports hit can loosen or knock out a tooth. Keep it moist in milk and handle it by the crown only.
Quick action gives a tooth its best chance of being saved.
