If you are in Fort Lonely with a bad toothache, call us first. We offer same-day emergency appointments at Pier Dental, and a quick conversation tells us how urgent your case is.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont will ask a few questions, tell you what to do right now and hold a time if you decide to come.
Pain and swelling
Fever, facial swelling or throbbing pain can indicate an abscess. This needs prompt care.
Head to an emergency room if swelling affects your breathing or swallowing.

A broken tooth
Save the pieces, rinse gently and avoid chewing on that side. We can usually repair it the day we see it.
Options include bonding, a crown or a root canal.
