Dental trouble has a way of showing up at the worst moment. Pier Dental sets aside time for same-day emergency visits, so Kenneth City patients can often be seen on the day they call.
Call (727) 363-6169 and describe what is happening. Dr. Brittany Pierpont wants to stop the pain, find the cause and explain your choices, with no scolding about how long it has been.
Relief for a throbbing toothache
Pain may come from deep decay, an infected nerve, gum trouble or a crack. We examine the tooth, take X-rays if needed and find the true source before recommending care.
Treatment might be a filling, a root canal or another fix. Swelling, fever or trouble swallowing mean you should call right away.

A chipped, cracked or broken tooth
A crack can hurt only when you bite, or only with cold drinks. Either way it tends to spread, and waiting rarely helps the tooth.
Depending on depth, Dr. Pierpont may bond the tooth, cap it with a crown or recommend root canal treatment, and she will explain why.

When a tooth is loosened or knocked out
Handle a lost tooth by the crown, never the root. Keep it in milk, not water, and phone us at once, because minutes count when saving it.
We assess the tooth, the gums and the bone around it, then talk through repair choices.
