A toothache does not wait for a convenient hour. If you are in Oldsmar with a cracked tooth, a swollen face or a knocked-out tooth, call Pier Dental at (727) 363-6169 before you get in the car. Same-day emergency appointments are offered, and we will tell you what to do on the way.
We are honest about the distance: about 20 miles in a straight line, and more by road. That is why a quick call matters. We can hold a time for you and give you first-aid steps while you travel.
Toothaches that keep getting worse
Pain that wakes you at night, or pain when you bite, often means infection or deep decay. Rinse gently with warm water and take a pain reliever you can tolerate, as directed on its label.
Do not place aspirin against the gum, and do not ignore a swelling. Tell us on the phone if you see one.

Cracked or broken teeth
Save any pieces and rinse your mouth. A cold pack on the cheek can help with swelling on the way here.
Some cracks are fixed with a filling or a crown, and deeper ones may need a root canal. Dr. Pierpont checks which it is.

Knocked-out teeth and mouth injuries
Pick up a knocked-out tooth by the crown, never the root. Keep it moist in milk or in your cheek, and get to us quickly.
Minutes matter more than miles here, so call before you leave Oldsmar and we will prepare.
