A snapped tooth at dinner or a sudden throb at midnight is stressful enough. Pier Dental offers same-day emergency dental visits, and our phone number is (727) 363-6169.
Patients from Redington Beach can describe what is happening and we will advise on next steps. Dr. Brittany Pierpont does not lecture, she treats.
Pain that comes from inside the tooth
Sharp or lingering pain can mean a cavity has reached the nerve or that an infection has formed. An exam and X-rays pinpoint the cause.
Depending on the findings, you might need a filling or root canal therapy. Swelling, fever or difficulty swallowing call for urgent care.

Broken, chipped or cracked teeth
Hard foods, falls and old fillings can all crack a tooth. A tooth may hurt sharply when you bite or only seem sensitive to temperature.
We evaluate how deep the break goes. Treatment ranges from bonding to a crown to a root canal, and we explain the reason behind our advice.

Knocked-out teeth and mouth injuries
Pick a lost tooth up by the crown, rinse it lightly and keep it in milk. Phone us right away, since the sooner it is seen, the better the chance of saving it.
For cut lips or loosened teeth, apply gentle pressure and a cold pack and call.
