A throbbing tooth or a sudden break is stressful anywhere, and more so when your nearest dentist is a drive away. Pier Dental offers same-day emergency appointments. Call (727) 363-6169 first so we can get you seen.
Our office is at 8351 Blind Pass Rd in St. Pete Beach. From Belleair Shore that is about 12.9 miles in a straight line, and the road adds more, so a quick call lets us advise you before you set out.
A toothache that will not let up
Pain that keeps you awake or flares with hot and cold deserves an exam. Decay, infection and cracks are common causes, and they rarely resolve alone.
Dr. Pierpont finds the source, relieves it and explains your options. Swelling or fever alongside tooth pain is urgent, so say so on the phone.

A tooth that cracked or broke
Biting down on ice or a hard seed can split a tooth. Keep any pieces and rinse gently with warm water.
How we repair it depends on how deep the break goes: bonding, a crown or sometimes a root canal. Waiting usually lets the crack spread.

A tooth knocked loose or out
Handle a knocked-out tooth by the crown, never the root. Keep it in milk and head our way fast, because minutes count for saving it.
We check the tooth, the gums and the bone around it, then lay out what comes next.

About Belleair Shore
Belleair Shore has a Gulf shoreline and a very small footprint, with Belleair Beach and Indian Rocks Beach right next door. Beach days bring slips, volleyballs and sandy snacks, which is how many accidents begin.
Whether you live here year-round or are visiting, call and tell us what happened. We will do our best to see you the same day.
Do not wait it out. Call (727) 363-6169, describe the problem, and we will make room. Ask about CareCredit and our in-house savings plan so cost is not the obstacle.
