When a tooth breaks or throbs, you want an answer fast. Pier Dental sets aside time for same-day emergency visits, and Dr. Brittany Pierpont sees people from Redington Shores who need relief and a straight explanation.
Phone us the moment trouble starts: (727) 363-6169. Waiting rarely helps, and there is no embarrassment about a tooth that was ignored for a while.
Throbbing or lingering toothache
Pain that wakes you up or flares with heat and cold often points to deep decay or infection. Dr. Pierpont checks the tooth, uses X-rays as needed, and finds what is actually wrong.
Treatment might be a filling or a root canal. If your face swells or you run a fever, tell us right when you call.

Cracks, chips and broken teeth
A bite into something hard, a grinding habit or an old restoration can split a tooth. The pain tends to show up when you release a bite or sip something cold.
Waiting lets a crack travel deeper. We choose between bonding, a crown or root canal therapy based on how far the damage reaches.

Accidents and knocked-out teeth
If a tooth is knocked loose or out, hold it by the crown, not the root, and keep it in milk. Rinse your mouth gently and apply a cold pack for swelling, then call us immediately.
Time matters for saving a tooth. Dr. Pierpont examines the tooth and the tissue around it and explains the options in order.
