I had to go to this dentist due to an abscessed tooth. The pain was really bad. I was greeted by a friendly and sympathetic staff including Laura Snyder, DDS. They could not pull the tooth right away due to the infection and they needed to get medical clearance from my primary care doctor. Once they got approval, they took me the very next day, even though the antibiotic they gave me did not have any marked effect on the infection. Apparently the various local anesthetics (novacane) do not work well with infected teeth. It took several rounds of different local anesthetics until Dr. Snyder found one that worked. One the pain killer settled in, the tooth was removed and I didn't feel a thing. She worked very hard on a very stubborn tooth. Once the extraction was done, the assistant gave me care instructions and even sent me home with a can of chicken noodle soup, since I was not supposed to eat anything too chewy over the next day or two. If you need emergent care or a great local dentist office, please give Horizon Dental Group in Spring Valley a try. read more
