A dental emergency is hard enough without a long drive. Pier Dental is in St. Pete Beach, and the straight-line distance from North Ruskin is 22.0 miles over Tampa Bay. The road route is considerably longer, so call (727) 363-6169 first.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont offers same-day emergency appointments, and we can talk you through care in the meantime. Spreading facial swelling or breathing trouble calls for a hospital emergency room.
Pain that disrupts your day
Lingering or throbbing tooth pain signals a problem that will not heal alone. Infection can follow if it is left.
Our exam and X-rays pinpoint the cause so treatment actually fits.

A broken tooth or lost chunk
A cracked tooth can feel fine one day and fail the next. Keep fragments, rinse and avoid chewing on that side.
Repair might be bonding, a crown or root canal therapy.

A hard knock to the mouth
Cold compresses help swelling after a fall or sports collision. A tooth that came out whole goes in milk.
We aim to see trauma cases quickly and check the surrounding bone and gums.

About North Ruskin
North Ruskin is crossed by U.S. 41, a road that links Gibsonton to the north with Bradenton to the south. Where there is traffic, there are accidents, and a call to us is a good early step.
If a Tampa-side dentist is closer, that is fine; we remain available if you want a second opinion.
Dial (727) 363-6169. Ask us about CareCredit and our $499-a-year savings plan so cost does not get in the way of care.
