Rita A Tempel DDS Cosmetic and Family Dentistry (Gettysburg Smiles)

Happy Sunday! I’m in more #virtualaadsmmeeting courses today until 4 pm. Here’s a quiz I’d like for you to try! The answer will be revealed tonight.

Happy Saturday! Today, Dr. Tempel is learning a plethora of dental sleep medicine information to benefit her patients! Today: Sleep apnea and orthodontics, Complex Cases, Circadiym Rhythm’s impact on Sleep disorders and so much more!

Guess what Dr. Tempel is doing Friday, Saturday and Sunday?

Someone was smiling bright today! When Dr. Tempel transforms a smile with full mouth rehabilitation, the lower porcelain restorations are typically completed first. This one is a beauty!

This week is National #DentalHygienistWeek and we are taking some time to recognize our incredible hygienists. Denise and Lora are an absolutely integral part of our #GettysburgSmiles Team and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for all that they do for #DrRitaTempel and our patients! Please leave a message of thanks in the comments below to help us celebrate them this week! Next week we will thank our newest team member, dental hygienist Lauren! #Gettysburg #DentalHygienists #ThankYou

Everyone please give Jamie a huge Happy Birthday in the comments! Jamie joined our practice this year and has been a wonderful addition to our team. You haven’t seen her beautiful smiling face until now ( I asked her to remove her mask for the picture). Happy Birthday Jamie!

"Dr. Tempel, and her entire staff, are the most thorough team that I have ever encountered in almost 70 yrs of my #dental care. Every new Dental School, Dental Assistant, and Hygienist graduate should do an Internship with these exceptional professionals. The support staff also facilitates a smooth and easy appointment. Excellent experience."... Jim C. #TestimonialTuesday #GettysburgSmiles #DrRitaTempel #Gettysburg #Dentist #CosmeticDentist

A Message from Dr. Tempel: "Hello to our dental patients and friends. Many of our patients start smiling (or laughing) when they see me in my PPE. GLAD I CAN STILL MAKE YOU SMILE! I wanted to let you know that we have been at 50% capacity pretty much since we reopened many months ago. We WILL REMAIN OPEN during this pandemic--we are essential healthcare workers. My heart goes out to my friends and patients who work in the industries being now closed or limited due to COVID...-19. One day this will be over. I am on my way to support a local restaurant this evening--carry out style. Nothing like a great meal at the end of a work week. Have a safe and healthy weekend. I will see some of you on Monday morning." #drritatempel #gettysburgsmiles #gettysburg #buylocal #weloveourpatients #ourpatientsloveus See more

Please help us celebrate 15 years with our absolutely incredible Megan! Megan is always there to support our patients, our practice, and her coworkers. She and #DrRitaTempel created #GettysburgSmiles together 15 years ago and she's been invaluable every day since. Through thick and thin, Megan has been there and been amazing! Everybody has met and worked with Megan and we can all agree she is remarkable! On her 15 year work anniversary, Dr. Tempel treated her and our ...Team to a homemade Italian luncheon. Megan was honored with this gorgeous bouquet from The Flower Boutique of Gettysburg and a few of her favorite things, along with gift cards to some of her spots. Please share your appreciation sentiments for Megan’s 15th year with a commented message to her! We thank you, Megan! To 15 more! #HappyAnniversary #HappyWorkiversary #ThankYou #Gettysburg

"I was with my dentist since I was 5 years old until last year when he retired. Unfortunately, his office does not have the same ethics and loyalty as he did so I had to find a new Dentist that was top notch and cared about their patients. Luckily I was referred to Dr. Temple at Gettysburg Smiles. They were able to get me in and fix two teeth that needed some attention. I am very pleased with the staff and Dr. Temple.

#DrRitaTempel and our #GettysburgSmiles Team are implementing the use of #CloSYS sensitive mouth rinse as a pre-procedural rinse for its antibacterial and antiviral properties. CloSYS is one of the few mouthrinses effective against COVID-19 and we are proud to utilize its effective but gentle technology. Its patented active ingredient, Cloralstan, also kills major pathogens associated with gum disease and inhibits their re-growth. No other antimicrobial has proved to control biofilm and respond to tooth decay and gum disease better than chlorine dioxide. #Dentist #Gettysburg
