What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency occurs when a dental issue requires immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, or protect overall health.

    Same-Day Emergency Care

    When dental care can’t wait, Gettysburg Dental Associates is here.

    We understand that accidents happen, and dental emergencies can occur at any time. That’s why we prioritize same-day appointments – so you get the care you need as soon as possible.

    We treat all dental emergencies, including: 

    • Knocked-out tooth
    • Broken or fractured tooth
    • Dislodged (partially extruded) tooth
    • Soft tissue injuries (cuts to the tongue, lips, or cheeks that cause excessive bleeding)
    • Toothache with swelling
    • Dental abscess
    • Gum infection (periodontal abscess)
    • Severe jaw pain or swelling
    • Lost or broken filling/crown
    • Broken braces or wires
    • Objects stuck between teeth
    • Excessive bleeding after a dental procedure 

    If a case requires specialized care, we’ll conduct an exam and X-rays first before referring to an oral surgeon or endodontist if needed.
