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.

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.

Meet THE DENTISTS
DR. DENNIS KNUTH
PARTNER
Dr. Knuth is proud to care for patients right here in the community he calls home. He and his team at Hometown Dental combine continuing education with the latest technology to make sure every patient and family receives top-quality care in a comfortable, welcoming setting.
Passionate about dentistry based on a simple philosophy, Dr. Knuth treats every patient as he would a close friend or family member—always striving to deliver the level of care each person deserves.
A graduate of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, Dr. Knuth feels fortunate to have learned from some of the best mentors in the field. Before becoming a dentist, he earned a degree in electrical engineering and spent six years working in the electronics industry in Cincinnati. That background gave him a strong appreciation for technology and precision, which now plays a big role in how he approaches dental care.
Dr. Knuth lives in Greencastle with Emily (Jones) and their three children. When Dr. Knuth isn’t with patients, you might find him riding his bicycle or on his Peloton trainer. Dr. Knuth also loves traveling and exploring new places with his family and friends. Some of Dr. Knuth’s favorite things are Bruce Springsteen, peanut M&Ms, cherry pie and yoga.
DR. TESS FUNKE
PARTNER
Dr. Funke loves getting to know her patients and chatting with them when they come in for visits. Its important to her to provide care for all patients, no matter where they are in their oral health journey.
While she enjoys many aspects of dentistry, Dr. Funke is excited to educate patients about dental implants and the ways they benefit oral health as Hometown Dental grows to offer implants here in our office.
Dr. Funke attended the University of Louisville for dental school and then completed a one year advanced training program in Arkansas. She's been transforming smiles with the Hometown Dental team since 2019.
When Dr. Funke isn’t with patients, you will find her spending time with her husband, Adam and their young son, Victor. Whether they are out strolling their neighborhood with aussiedoodle, Nelson or trying a new restaurant, it's wonderful to experience the world through a child’s eyes. Dr. Funke enjoys Orange Theory Fitness, cuddling up with a good book and will never turn down a good chocolate chip cookie.
