A cracked tooth or a face-swelling toothache does not wait for a convenient time. If you are in Gardenville or elsewhere around Gibsonton, call us at (727) 363-6169 before you leave.
Same-day emergency appointments are part of how Pier Dental works. When you call, we ask what happened and find the soonest opening.
A broken or cracked tooth
Save any pieces you can find, rinse your mouth with warm water, and skip hard foods. A crack that reaches the inner part of the tooth hurts when you bite.
Depending on depth, the repair may be bonding, a crown or a root canal.

A tooth knocked loose or out
Hold a knocked-out tooth by the crown, not the root. Keep it moist in milk, never wrapped dry.
Time matters, so phone us as you start driving.

Pain that comes with swelling
Swelling, fever or a pimple-like bump on the gum can mean an infection is spreading. Cold compresses help for now, but they do not cure it.
A root canal can end the infection at its source and save the tooth.

About Gardenville
Gardenville is in the Gibsonton area, where US 41 runs through the center and Interstate 75 crosses the eastern part. Both roads lead out of the area, but the bay stands between there and our office.
We are about 24 miles away in a straight line, and the road is longer. That is why a phone call first matters: we can give first-aid steps and hold a time for you.
Hurt right now? Call (727) 363-6169 and say it is an emergency. We will tell you what to do next.
