A cracked tooth after a day on the water or a sudden toothache at night can feel scarier from an island. Pier Dental keeps same-day emergency appointments available, often on the day you call, for patients from Tierra Verde.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont focuses on stopping the pain, then going over your options and what each costs.
Severe toothache or swelling
A deep, steady ache may mean infection in the tooth or gum. Left alone, an abscess can spread, so swelling or fever should prompt a call right away.
Treatment may involve draining the abscess, a root canal or removing the tooth.

Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
A tooth can fracture on food, ice or a sudden knock. We check how far the crack extends and choose bonding, a crown or a root canal to fit.
Stay off that tooth while you wait.

Injuries to the mouth
For a knocked-out tooth, rinse it lightly, avoid scrubbing, and place it in milk. A cold compress helps with swelling.
Phone before you drive over so we can be ready.
