Dental emergencies tend to hit at the worst time. Pier Dental sets aside same-day emergency appointments for patients driving in from Cross Bayou and other parts of Pinellas Park.
Phone us, tell us what is going on, and we will walk you through what to do until you arrive.
Swelling or an abscess
A pimple-like bump on the gum, a foul taste or a swollen cheek can signal an abscess. These infections need prompt treatment.
Relief may come from draining the abscess, a root canal or an extraction, and Dr. Pierpont will explain which.

A tooth that cracked
Biting down on something hard can split a tooth. Avoid chewing on it and rinse gently with warm water.
We will check the depth of the crack and recommend a repair.

Injury from a fall or sports
Collisions can loosen, chip or knock out a tooth. Handle a lost tooth by the crown only, and keep it in milk.
Call before you leave so we can be ready for you.
