Emergency Tooth Extractions

Sussex Emergency dentist can offer immediate assessment and treatment to extract problematic teeth.

Dental extractions are categorised into simple and complex extractions based on the complexity of the procedure and the condition of the tooth being extracted. Choosing between a simple and complex extraction depends on the tooth’s condition and the specific circumstances. Your dentist will assess your situation and determine the most appropriate method for extraction. Here are the key differences between the two:

A simple dental extraction involves removing a tooth that is visible in the mouth and easily accessible. It is typically performed on teeth that are fully erupted and have a straightforward root structure.

A complex dental extraction involves removing a tooth that is not easily accessible. This includes teeth that are broken, impacted (not fully erupted), or have complicated root structures. The procedure is more intricate and may require surgical intervention.

Simple Dental Extraction Likely Procedure:

Anesthesia
- Local anaesthetic is administered to numb the area around the tooth.
Loosening the Tooth
- The dentist uses an elevator to loosen the tooth from the surrounding bone and periodontal ligament.
Removal
- Once loosened, forceps are used to grasp the tooth and remove it from the socket.
Post-Extraction Care
- Gauze is placed to control bleeding, and instructions are given for post-extraction care.
Recovery
- Typically, recovery is quick with minimal discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient for pain management.

Complex Dental Extraction Likely Procedure

Anesthesia
- Small incisions are made in the gum to expose the tooth and surrounding bone.
Incisions
- The dentist uses an elevator to loosen the tooth from the surrounding bone and periodontal ligament.
Bone Removal
- Sometimes, a portion of the bone around the tooth needs to be removed to access the tooth.
Tooth Sectioning
- The tooth may be divided into sections to facilitate easier removal, especially in cases of impacted or multi-rooted teeth.
Removal
- Each section of the tooth is carefully removed.
Stitches
- The gum incisions are typically stitched to promote healing.
Post-Extraction Care
- Instructions are given for managing pain, swelling, and preventing infection. Follow-up visits may be necessary.
Recovery
- Recovery can take longer and may involve more discomfort compared to simple extractions. Pain management may include prescription pain relievers, and post-operative care is crucial to prevent complications such as dry socket or infection.

  I have seen Dr Fahad Jamil twice now and he has been very gentle and reassuring. Both he and his assistant were very professional and talked me through what they were doing at all times. He also gave me very good aftercare advice.
The clinic is very clean and modern and the staff on arrival are helpful and welcoming.
Nobody enjoys going to the dentist but it was as good as it could be!

  Dr Jamil extracted my son’s wisdom tooth yesterday. My son is deaf and struggles with communication, he was very impressed with Dr Jamil’s deaf awareness. So impressed that he checked whether I’d written this review today !! Thank you.

  I was referred here yesterday to have a wisdom tooth extracted. The oral surgeon was Faizal Sameja. Lovely guy. I was scared and I was in pain with this tooth for several weeks beforehand. After the anaesthetic kicked in, the actual extraction took about 5 minutes, if that. He was so skilful and  his assistant was also very reassuring.  In fact it was so quick and I was so relieved I think I laughed! All the staff I met at this dental practice were calm, efficient and friendly.

I was expecting to be in pain last night and today but I have only taken 2 paracetamol since.
