A broken tooth on vacation, or a toothache on the island, is a bad surprise. Call Pier Dental at (727) 363-6169 and we will help you sort out what to do.
We offer same-day emergency appointments when we can. The office is in St. Pete Beach, about 19.7 miles north of Bradenton Beach in a straight line, so please phone before you set out.
Tooth knocked out at the beach
Pick it up by the crown and rinse gently. Put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk.
Do not scrub it. Call us as you travel.

Biting down on something hard
A crack may not hurt at first. Sharp pain on release or with cold usually means the tooth needs attention.
We assess depth before recommending bonding, a crown or a root canal.

Pain that returns each night
Toothaches often get louder when you lie down. Pain medication may mask an infection that keeps growing.
We find the cause and talk through treatment and cost.

About Bradenton Beach
Bradenton Beach has a small land area, about 0.52 square miles, with the Cortez Bridge connecting it to the mainland. A bridge and a longer road stand between you and our office, which is another reason to call early.
Regular hours are Monday through Thursday, with Friday by appointment. CareCredit and our in-house plan are available if cost is a worry.
Call (727) 363-6169 now. Tell us what happened, and we will find the soonest time.
