Emergency Dentistry

In the event of a dental emergency, it is important that you know the right steps to take. Ideally, you should go to your dentist immediately so that emergency dentistry may be administered. Your tooth and overall oral health depend upon fast, effective action. At Miramichi Smiles, we provide rapid emergency dental service and strive to keep your mouth as healthy as possible.

If you or your loved one is facing a dental emergency, contact us by calling (506) 773-7121 during office hours to see if we have any available openings. Please make sure to go to the emergency room if you have a life-threatening illness.

Types of emergencies

Blood and excruciating pain are not the only ways to identify a dental emergency. There are five dental issues that may constitute an emergency that you should be aware of:

  • Tooth Infection

  • Broken or Chipped Teeth

  • Knocked Out Teeth, or Avulsions

  • Swollen Gums

  • Dislodged Fillings or Crowns

Each of these dental emergencies has its effect on the mouth and therefore requires different types of treatments. For instance, broken or chipped teeth may be able to be salvaged and effectively patched up, while a tooth infection may require a root canal or another type of service. An emergency dentist will be able to evaluate your situation and help you determine the best method of treatment if different options are available. On the other hand, if immediate action is required the dentist will know what to do. Remember, maintaining your oral health is critical to protecting your overall physical health.

Along with personal service, we strive to provide the best possible care. Our emergency dentists have years of experience and actively seek to stay abreast of new techniques, technologies, and best practices. This allows us to be sure that we are providing our clients with the exceptional service that they deserve. If you desire or require specialty services, we can refer you there! We will not only try to meet your needs but exceed them and help you to achieve the smile you desire.
