Trust Our Experienced Team for Your Dental Emergency

Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies, providing prompt, effective treatment to resolve your dental crisis. We focus on relieving your pain quickly while developing a long-term solution for your dental health.

Emergency dental treatments we provide include:

  • Tooth Fillings – Our team will remove decay and restore damaged teeth. Fillings stop pain and prevent further damage to your tooth structure.
  • Root Canal Treatment – When infection or trauma affects your tooth’s inner pulp, your dentist will carefully remove the damaged tissue, then seal the tooth. This treatment eliminates pain and saves your tooth from extraction.
  • Dental Crowns – For severely damaged teeth, we can design and place strong, natural-looking crowns to restore both function and appearance.
  • Gum Disease Treatment – Our team provides prompt care for painful or bleeding gums. We use a variety of techniques to treat infection and prevent further tissue damage.
  • Tooth Extractions – When saving a tooth isn’t possible, your dentist can perform a gentle extraction to relieve pain and prevent complications. We’ll also discuss replacement options with you for the best long-term results.

Know the Steps to Take During a Dental Crisis

Here’s what you should do before your appointment in our office:

  • Toothache – Rinse with warm water, gently floss to remove any trapped food, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • Loose Tooth – Avoid touching the tooth with your tongue or fingers, and bite gently on clean gauze to stabilize it if needed.
  • Broken Tooth – Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken pieces in milk, and apply a cold compress or ice pack to help with swelling.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth – Handle the tooth by the crown (white part) only, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and place it in milk or saliva until you reach our office.
  • Loose Dental Restoration – Save the restoration and temporarily reattach it, using dental cement from a drugstore if possible.
  • Soft Tissue Injury – Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze, rinse with warm salt water, and use a cold compress to minimize swelling.

Call Guilford Hills Dental Care immediately at 717-912-5227 for expert care and guidance. Prompt treatment is crucial for Chambersburg dental emergencies. If you have a non-emergency need, you can request an appointment online.

Common Questions About Dental Emergencies
What can you do for my dental emergency?

When you come in for a dental emergency, we’ll first assess your condition to determine the next steps. Depending on your situation, we will recommend particular services to restore your smile. They may include a filling to repair dental decay, a dental crown to strengthen a damaged tooth, a root canal to repair an infected tooth, or a tooth extraction if we’re not able to save your tooth.

What are some common dental emergencies?

There are few emergencies your dentist hasn’t seen over the years. Some are certainly more common than others. Emergencies that we see often include toothaches caused by a cavity or an infection, cracked teeth, broken teeth, and broken dental restorations. In most cases, we’re able to resolve all these situations with restorative dentistry.

Can I prevent dental emergencies?

No one can anticipate every possible dental emergency, but you can take steps to reduce your odds of having such a problem. Following ADA recommendations – brushing and flossing daily and getting regular dental cleanings – reduces your risk of tooth infections and gum disease. Plus, wearing athletic mouthguards during sports can protect your teeth from injuries.
