you must pull it out !

later food residue stuck in the gum cleavage and bacteria start growing

Damn.How much might it cost anyway?If I'm not mistaken,I think my dentist said I had 2 impacted wisdom tooth..oh gosh

lol read this thread from page 1

got extra bucks.. hate waiting >> then go to private

limited cash... need to wait bout 1,2 weeks till next appointment >> go goverment (each surgery cost bout rm55)

should get it out.... few problems associated with impacted wisdom teeth... the most common problem is gum infection and decay to the tooth in front....

the pain doing in private is less than doing in goverment right ?

No comment on that.

what my friend describe the process

*do not open if scare

Yea probably doing at private..even though government is cheap,but they are not as good as private,are they?

Damn,the prob is I'm going to put braces as well soon..

I had mine done through Option (a) at Dr. Ling's clinic as well. The IV Sedation was very easy and painless, and the surgical staff were all very professional, pleasant and efficient. The rate is more or less 1.5k per tooth, few hundred less if it is an upper tooth.

It was expensive... but you see, I've experienced having extractions by local anesthetic before, and receiving 10 injections in your gum and palate is painful and traumatic to say the least.
So doing this extraction by IV Sedation was very pleasant in comparison. The actual IV injection didn't hurt, and I felt as though i fell asleep immediately, only waking up at the end when the surgery was over.

how much on average to remove a wiisdom tooth which hasnt erupted/emerged but has been x-rayed to be in an upright position?

Stitches??

teeth that's not erupted/not in occlusion with opposing teeth are very easy to remove..... especially so if you are young.... bone are still soft... so go get it remove early.....

removed my wisdom tooth last year November at USJ Taipan - Joon Dental clinic for RM550

The dentist did not clean the "hole" properly - coz later that...got some tiny bone fragments popping out frm my gum. Went back to her again...she did not explain what the hell was popping out frm my gums.

Dissatisfied with her lackadaisal attitude...went for another dentist in Bandar Puretir Puchong, she explained that it shld be "bone fragment" - no big issues as it will naturally push out all small fragments out from your jaw

True enough...after popping out 2 small bone fragments now got no more problem

i don't know what has been discussed but sometimes you can actually get this under claim as "surgery" instead of a pure dental.

try checking

ok la, i will going to UH after long reading here.

My wisdom teeth hault me for years d.
