Dental pain does not wait for a convenient moment. Pier Dental offers same-day emergency appointments, and Dr. Brittany Pierpont will work to relieve your pain before anything else.
We know a Rattlesnake patient has a long way to travel. Phone ahead and we will talk through what is happening, then set up the soonest visit.
Pain that will not settle
Throbbing, swelling or a bad taste can mean infection. These signs deserve a prompt exam rather than another night of waiting.
Treatment depends on the cause, from a filling to a root canal or an extraction.

A tooth that cracked or chipped
A sharp edge, or pain when you release a bite, can mean a crack. Stay off that side and keep the area clean.
Repair may be bonding, a crown or a root canal, depending on how deep the damage runs.

After a blow to the mouth
Rinse gently, use a cold compress and keep any knocked-out tooth in milk. Skip tissue and tap water.
Call as you leave, since the first hour counts for the most.

About Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake has no official boundaries though one common description puts Gandy Boulevard on its north side. Wherever you are in it, we are roughly 17 miles off in a straight line.
The drive is longer than that, so please call before setting out. The office keeps regular hours Monday through Thursday, plus Fridays by appointment, and we will confirm the details with you.
Hurting now? Call (727) 363-6169. We will tell you what to do next and fit you in as quickly as we can.
