A Rio Vista dental emergency deserves a fast answer, so Pier Dental sets aside same-day appointments to relieve pain and sort out what Dr. Brittany Pierpont needs to treat.
Rio Vista patients should ring (727) 363-6169 early, since delay can turn a manageable problem into a harder one, and we never judge how it happened.
A cracked tooth is urgent
Pain on biting, a dull ache that lingers, or sensitivity to sweets can signal a crack. A Rio Vista patient who calls promptly gives Dr. Pierpont a better chance of saving the tooth with bonding, a crown or a root canal.
Cracks do not heal on their own.

Toothache relief with a diagnosis
Dr. Pierpont examines the tooth, may take X-rays and finds out why it hurts, whether from decay, gum disease, infection or injury. People in Rio Vista get a plan that fixes the cause, not just the symptom.
Call if pain wakes you at night.

Root canals for infected teeth
When bacteria reach the pulp inside a tooth, the pain can be severe and an abscess can follow. A root canal stops the infection and keeps the tooth, and it is frequently the right call for a Rio Vista emergency.
We numb the area first.

About Rio Vista
The city of St. Petersburg was incorporated on February 29, 1892, which makes a Rio Vista address part of a place with more than a century of local history. Our practice is family-owned and local too, and we like that continuity.
Rio Vista patients reach us at 8351 Blind Pass Rd. When you call, describe what happened and we will look for the earliest appointment.
Phone (727) 363-6169 for your Rio Vista emergency and we will look for the soonest opening. Cost need not stop you, since CareCredit and in-house options exist.
