We want to be upfront: Pier Dental is in St. Pete Beach, 22.0 miles from Longbeach in a straight line, and the drive is longer than that. If your emergency is severe, such as heavy swelling or trouble breathing, go to a hospital emergency room.
For a broken tooth, a bad toothache or a lost filling, call (727) 363-6169. Dr. Brittany Pierpont keeps room for same-day emergency patients, and we can often advise you right away.
A tooth that aches and aches
Throbbing, heat sensitivity or biting pain can all signal an infection starting. Over-the-counter relief helps only briefly.
Once you are here, Dr. Pierpont examines the tooth, images it and treats the cause.

A break from a bite gone wrong
Hard candy, bones and ice break teeth more often than people expect. Save any fragments and rinse with warm water.
We repair based on depth, from bonding to crowns to root canal therapy.

Trauma on the water or the road
Boat decks, bikes and beach games all end up with mouth injuries sometimes. A cold compress eases swelling.
A knocked-out tooth should be kept in milk, and time matters, so call as you head our way.

About Longbeach
Longboat Key has been reached by road only since 1929, when a bridge to St. Armands opened. Getting around on an island has long taken planning, and that includes planning for a dental problem.
Longbeach residents should keep our number handy. A short call can sort out whether to come in, and how quickly.
Save (727) 363-6169 in your phone. Ask about CareCredit and the in-house savings plan when you call, so cost does not hold you back.
