A cracked tooth on a work day is miserable. If you are in Tampa and nothing nearby can see you, Pier Dental offers same-day emergency appointments across the bay in St. Pete Beach.
Call before you drive. We can tell you what to do for the pain and when to head over.
Throbbing pain that will not settle
Pain that wakes you at night, or swelling near a tooth, may mean infection. Infection does not clear on its own.
Dr. Pierpont finds the source and treats it, often with a root canal that ends the ache.

A tooth that cracked on something hard
Cracks can be tiny or run deep. We check how far the damage goes before choosing between bonding, a crown or a root canal.
Chew on the other side until you are seen.

A knocked-out or loosened tooth
Keep the tooth moist in milk, never wrapped in tissue, and hold it by the crown rather than the root.
Speed matters most, so call as you leave.

About Tampa
Tampa Bay sits between you and our office, and the straight-line gap is about 22.6 miles. The actual drive takes longer, so call from the road if you can.
Tampa is a busy city with a port, universities and a major military base nearby. Emergencies still happen anywhere, and we will do our best to see you soon.
Dial (727) 363-6169 and describe what happened. Ask about CareCredit or our in-house savings plan when you call.
