i think tomorrow wanna go there .

any guide for the registration process ?

I done it at Penang hospital. I guess i was lucky as it there was two experience surgeon who done it. I paid in total about RM 100 but have 3 painkiller injections. My case was rather special as it was deep and impacted on another tooth. So they had to take a few x-ray to check the position before cutting the gum and pull out the tooth. Then i have my 5 stiches. Practically painless, they even pass me my wisdom tooth as my trophy haha.

For cost comparision, the cheapest private clinic cost about RM500 to 600 while private Hospital like Lam Wah Ee cost about RM 1300 to 1500.

If government servant go should be free and elderly have special discount at GH. There is practically no waiting list for this.

Hope this info helps

I just did mine at dhdc damansara heights clinic and it cost me about 1.1k! Ripped off TT

hmm.. my wisdom teeth growing out now. Dentist suggest to extract it as earlier as possible but I do not feel any pain on it. Just wondering does extraction of wisdom teeth is a must in life? Is anyone still have their wisdom teeth with him/her?

only 20% of the wisdom teeth needs to be removed.....

curious of what the 20% referring to?
does it referring to only 20% of people need to remove their wisdom tooth or?

I guess the rest of the 80% people either have no wisdom tooth (didn't grow) or it was grown in the correct position so no need to extract.

yup... that's what I meant....

ooh.. thanks for that~

gee.. thought dat it's a rare prob for wisdom tooth to grow sideways. now i see it's due to diet dats different nowadys, teeth hadnt enough space to grow. and diidnt know dat the surgery would involve gum too. hurm, now it freakin me out a bit. i went to the to clnc for checkup, dentist did say no need for the wisdom tooth to be taken out. and here, somebody points out gettin rotten plus messing with the teeth in front of the wisdom tooth makes sense to actually taken it out as early as possible. want to start surveying places for good option to have it done.

anyone had experience gettin it done in UM? wat would you guys suggest? im hopin for painless as possible experience.. cause now even the tooth give me ache. cant imagine pain from the surgery. even more if the tooth causes other prob say with gum maybe.. i cnt imagine the pain.. even the practical student, would they be nice to you? they arent likely rushed to just cabut the tooth right?

I have only one wisdom tooth on the upper left corner that does not cause me any pain at all but it's WAY out of place. Totally not aligned with my teeth. So do i have to wait for the other 3 to grow before extracting it?

Anyone can suggest me a good dentist in Ipoh? Thanks.

upper wisdom teeth normally won't get impacted... but..... they get decay very fast.... this is coz most ppl can't brush the upper wisdom teeth at all....

lower wisdom teeth will only cause problem to the teeth next to it if it's 'laying' down... if it's in perfect position then dun need to remove.....

^Oh. i think i better go to the dentist fast.

What do you mean by laying down? Sorry.

means it's not in it's upright position..... it's slanted/side ways.....

i wonder which government hospital or private hospital at KL more reliable for this wisdom teeth surgery(more prefer to go government hospital)? I mean like the dental got experience...becoz my teeth at the bottom grow almost 180 degree and impact the teeth beside alrdy, the dental sure headache one..

I think you meant 90degree.... all trained oral surgeons will be able to remove it comfortably....

had extreme pain with the gum around my wisdom teeth. 2 some more. bottom part~ PAIN!!!! then went to see the dentist yesterday and she say "oh, its normal and safe. ur teeth not yet finish grow so its ok to pain. just wait the pain to subside" well, in the end i just ask her check and c my teeth got hole or not. ended up 6-7small holes and 2 big holes at the wisdom teeth.. guess the reason of the big holes is hardly brush that particular area. ended up rm350.. ToT. purse got hole oso ady~

Had my wisdom tooth removed. Surprisingly I felt no pain at all after the first day(didn't even touch my pain killers) and the swelling went down 2 days after that.

I had 4 impacted (growing sideways) wisdom teeth removed at once, all beneath the gum, require general anastesia. Over here in AUS the procedure would be crazy expensive, AUD2000++, luckily I had health cover.
The surgery was one of the worst experiences of my life, both physically and mentally!! I think i was VERY unlucky case with healing, face got un-humanish swollen for 4 weeks, bruising for 6 weeks!
Any consolation... most people don't have horrible recovery like this...

avoid GA at all cause... I've train in hospital setting where wisdom teeth are removed under GA.... the surgeons are very rough and will cause lodsa soft tissue damage, hence the swelling......

under LA, surgeons will be as gentle as possible coz you are awake.....
