Our Approach to Emergency Dental Care

 Dental emergencies can be stressful and painful. That’s why we prioritize prompt and effective treatment for all our patients experiencing urgent dental needs. Whether you’re suffering from a severe toothache, have sustained an injury to your mouth, or are experiencing any other kind of dental distress, Greencastle Hometown Dental & Orthodontics is here to provide you with the care you need.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you find yourself facing a dental emergency, it’s important to act quickly.

Here are some steps to follow:

1. Contact Us Immediately: Call our emergency dental care office as soon as possible to describe your situation. We’ll provide you with immediate advice and arrange for you to see one of our dentists at the earliest opportunity.

2. Manage Pain: If you are in pain, over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort until you can see the dentist. However, always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging and consult with us if you’re unsure.

3. Protect the Area: If you’ve broken a tooth or lost a filling, try to protect the area from further damage. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and rinse gently with warm water.

Located in the heart of Greencastle, Indiana, our clinic is equipped with the latest technology to handle a wide range of dental emergencies. We understand that dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them.

Our expert team, led by Dr. Dennis Knuth and Dr. Tess Funke, is dedicated to providing immediate care to alleviate pain and ensure your dental health is protected.
