A dental emergency is stressful enough without a long drive to think about. Port Tampa is 16 miles away in a straight line, so please phone (727) 363-6169 before you set out.
We offer same-day emergency appointments, and the call lets us prepare and give you first-aid steps while you travel.
Pain that will not settle
A toothache that keeps you awake may signal deep decay or an infection. Dr. Pierpont finds the source and treats it, which sometimes means a root canal.
Facial swelling or fever means you should call right away.

A tooth knocked out or loose
Time matters after an injury. Keep the tooth moist, hold it by the crown rather than the root, and phone us immediately.
We then assess the tooth and surrounding bone and discuss what can be saved.

Infection that reaches the nerve
When decay has gone deep, a root canal removes the infected tissue and ends the pain. A crown usually follows to protect the tooth.
Putting it off lets infection spread, so earlier is kinder.
