Pier Dental offers same-day emergency appointments. From Elwood Park the trip is long, so a phone call first saves you from guessing.
Describe what happened and Dr. Brittany Pierpont’s team will say whether you should come now, and what to do until you arrive.
A throbbing toothache
Constant pain, a bad taste or a swollen gum can mean infection. It tends to spread, so it should not wait for next week.
Treatment might be draining, a root canal or an extraction.

A cracked or broken tooth
Save any pieces and rinse with warm water. Try not to chew on that side.
Bonding or a crown will rebuild it, depending on how the tooth broke.

A knock to the mouth
A tooth knocked loose or out needs fast handling. Hold it by the crown, keep it moist and call us as you leave.
Time matters most in the first hour.

About Elwood Park
Elwood Park sits in Manatee County, roughly 24.6 miles from us in a straight line. Tampa Bay lies in between, so allow extra travel time and do not rely on the straight-line figure.
Monday we are in from 9 to 3, Tuesday 9 to 5, Wednesday 9 to 4 and Thursday 9 to 5, with Friday by appointment only. Outside those hours, call anyway, because same-day emergency care is sometimes possible.
Phone (727) 363-6169 and tell us what is wrong. Cost questions, including CareCredit, can be handled once you are out of pain.
