Broken teeth and bad toothaches do not wait for a good time. If one hits you in West Bradenton, call Pier Dental at (727) 363-6169 before you leave home. We will ask what happened, tell you what to do right away, and look for a same-day opening.
Be realistic about the distance. We are roughly 19 miles away in a straight line, with water between us, and the road trip takes longer than that figure suggests. If you are bleeding heavily or having trouble breathing, go to the nearest emergency room first.
Cracked or broken teeth
A broken tooth can be sharp and sensitive, and a crack may reach the nerve. We repair it with bonding, a crown or a root canal depending on how deep it goes.
Rinse with warm water and keep any large fragment. Avoid chewing on that tooth and call us.

Knocked-out or loosened teeth
Handle a knocked-out tooth by the crown only. Place it in milk if you can and do not scrub it. The sooner we see you, the better its chances.
A tooth that is loose or has shifted still needs care. We check the surrounding bone and teeth.

Pain that will not let up
Constant throbbing, swelling or a sore pimple on the gum may mean an abscess. Over-the-counter pain medicine only masks it.
We treat the source, sometimes with a root canal. Facial swelling or fever means call immediately.
