Immediate Dental Care When You Need It
A dental emergency can happen when you least expect it—whether it’s a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or swelling that won’t go away. At
TLC Dentistry, we provide
urgent, same-day dental care to relieve pain, restore function, and protect your smile.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
If you're in severe pain, bleeding, or dealing with a broken or lost tooth, you shouldn’t wait. Dental emergencies require immediate attention to prevent complications. Here are some of the most common emergencies we treat:
Severe Toothaches
A persistent or throbbing toothache can indicate an infection, deep cavity, or other serious issues. We diagnose the cause and offer relief with treatments like fillings, root canals, or extractions if necessary.
Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth or Crowns
Accidents happen, and when they do, a cracked, chipped, or completely knocked-out tooth needs urgent attention. If you act fast, we may be able to save your tooth with immediate care.
Broken Dentures or Partials
A damaged denture or partial denture can make eating and speaking difficult. We offer same-day repairs and replacements so you can get back to your daily life with confidence.
Swelling & Infections (Abscesses)
Facial swelling, pain, or pus around a tooth could signal a serious infection or abscess. Left untreated, this can spread and become a life-threatening condition. We provide drainage, antibiotics, and treatment options to stop the infection and relieve pain.
Dry Socket After Extraction
If you’ve recently had a tooth removed and are experiencing intense pain a few days later, you may have dry socket. We provide quick relief with specialized medicated dressings and pain management solutions.
Dental Trauma & Accidents
Sports injuries, falls, or car accidents can cause fractured teeth, jaw pain, or soft tissue injuries. Our team evaluates the damage and provides treatment to restore both function and aesthetics.

Catching Problems Before They Escalate
Think of routine dental exams at our Dunedin dental office as a wellness check for your mouth. These visits allow Dr. Radzikowski to identify potential problems such as cavities, worn enamel, or cracked teeth before they become painful or costly to treat. And we can often provide simpler and less invasive treatments by detecting these issues early on.
