Dental emergencies tend to arrive at the worst moment, and Pier Dental sets aside time for them. We offer same-day emergency appointments, often the same day you call, for patients in Boca Ciega, across Treasure Island and nearby.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont starts with pain relief and a diagnosis. She will not ask why you waited. You will leave knowing what happened and what comes next.
Pain that wakes you at night
Toothache pain can signal decay, a crack, a gum problem or an abscess. We examine the area, take X-rays and explain what is causing it before suggesting treatment.
See us promptly if you notice swelling, fever or difficulty swallowing, since an infection can spread.

Teeth that crack, chip or break
A tooth can crack on something hard or just from years of wear. Left alone, a crack tends to deepen, and we may repair it with bonding, a crown or a root canal depending on how far it goes.
Call us and describe the break. We will tell you how to protect the tooth until your appointment.

Injuries to the mouth
After a blow to the mouth, rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress. If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk or a preservation solution rather than letting it dry.
Getting here fast gives the best chance of saving the tooth, so call as you leave.

About Boca Ciega
Boca Ciega Bay has 185-acre Boca Ciega Millennium Park on its eastern shore in Seminole, where a 35-foot tower looks over the water. Time near the water means a slip on a dock or a ball to the mouth can happen to anyone.
If something happens, call (727) 363-6169 and our team will tell you whether to come in. We are at 8351 Blind Pass Rd, with regular hours Monday through Thursday and Friday by appointment.
Pain is a reason to call, not a test of toughness. Dial (727) 363-6169 and tell us what is wrong. We can also discuss CareCredit and the in-house plan so cost does not delay care.
