Severe tooth pain, a broken tooth or facial swelling should not sit overnight. Call Pier Dental at (727) 363-6169 from Bridgeport and tell us what is happening.
We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever we can fit you in. Our St. Pete Beach office is about 19.6 miles away in a straight line, which is why a phone call first really helps.
Swelling with pain
A swollen cheek or gum with a toothache may mean an abscess. Do not try to drain it yourself.
If swelling spreads toward your eye or neck, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest emergency room.

A tooth that broke
Keep any fragments in a clean container. Skip hot, cold and hard foods on that side.
We will look at how far the break reaches before choosing a repair.

Tooth knocked loose or out
Handle by the crown only. Store it in milk, not water, and call us as you leave.
Quick action improves the odds of saving the tooth.
