A sharp pain or a cracked tooth does not wait for a good time. Pier Dental sets up same-day emergency appointments for patients from Lealman, and Dr. Brittany Pierpont works to stop the pain and identify the cause.
Dial (727) 363-6169 and tell us what is happening. Whether it began an hour ago or has simmered for weeks, we will take it seriously.
Sudden or constant tooth pain
Throbbing, biting pain or sensitivity that does not fade can indicate decay, infection or a damaged nerve. Dr. Pierpont examines the tooth and uses X-rays to learn the cause.
Fillings, root canals and other treatments are all possibilities. If a fever or swelling appears, mention it when you call.

Dental trauma and knocked-out teeth
A fall, a collision or a blow to the mouth can loosen or dislodge teeth. Handle a lost tooth by the crown, rinse it lightly and keep it in milk until you arrive.
We assess the tooth, the gums and the bone behind them, then recommend a treatment plan. Quick action improves the odds of saving the tooth.

Root canal relief
A tooth with a deep infection can cause severe pain and swelling. A root canal clears out the infected tissue and seals the tooth.
The goal is to relieve pain and save the tooth. We confirm the diagnosis first and explain what to expect.
