Park days can end with a chipped tooth or a bad fall. Pier Dental offers same-day emergency appointments to visitors and neighbors around Fort De Soto.
Call from the road if you can. We will advise you on what to do before you arrive.
A tooth knocked loose or out
Hold a lost tooth by the crown. Keep it in milk, not water, and do not scrub it.
Dr. Pierpont will evaluate it and discuss whether it can be saved.

A tooth broken on something hard
Shells, ice and hard snacks can crack a tooth. Rinse your mouth, avoid biting on it and call us.
We will check how far the crack goes and what repair makes sense.

Toothache or a swollen gum
A throbbing tooth and a puffy gum may point to infection. Do not ignore swelling or fever.
We will work to relieve the pain and treat the cause.
