I am not sure when my wisdom tooth growth

I did mine at The Boulevard, the shophouses opposite Mid-Valley. It is RM800 per tooth but they use Intravenous Sedation, you wont remember a thing. He is a specialist Oral-Surgeon.

you did for one tooth or both?

That's a lot of money

if u hving serious problem with ur wisdom tooth then need do operation lor..and that time the cost would be around rm350 per tooth.

if normal pluck off ur wisdom tooth only rm150 wor...
how come urs so expensive?

luckily my wisdom tooth now ok...got infection few months ago. suppose need remove it, but later take antibiotic the infection gone...
now still healthy healthy tooth...

Try the one at Sunway Mentari .. Opposite Sunway Pyramid next to McD. I did mine for RM400 inclusive of medication.. Cheaper by RM100.

Can I know the dentist office name???
I got 1 bad position wisdom tooth.. need to remove it
from xray i got all 4 bad position growth
but onli 1 built up...

The dentist name is Dr. Ling. office is Ling Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Tel no. is 03-22873700. I did it around Feb and March this year. I took out all 4 Wisdom Tooth. Each RM800 he charge so total is RM3200. In Feb I took out 2 from my right side and March took out 2 from my left side.

There is 2 options:

a) Do it in his clinic Intravenous Sedation.
b) Do it in the hospital using General Anasthetic.

I choose option a).

Can you please describe a little on the above 2 options? Curios to know la

Option a) Intravenous sedatives at the clinic

Intravenous sedatives.
Intravenous sedatives are medications that are used to control anxiety which are administered by way of injecting them into one of your veins ("I.V."). In general, a deeper and more controlled level of sedation can be achieved when using intravenous sedatives as opposed to nitrous oxide or oral sedatives. Typically intravenous sedatives are administered by oral surgeons (as opposed to "general dentists") because they have the specialized training and monitoring equipment need when using these medications. Some intravenous sedatives have an "amnesic effect." This means that when they are used the patient will have no recall or memory of the dental procedure.

Your dentist will need to provide you with specific instructions regarding their use of intravenous sedatives with you and it is very important that you follow them. Usually included in these instructions are rules about not eating or drinking for some hours prior to the administration of the sedative. When intravenous sedatives are used you will need to make arrangements for someone to drive and escort you home after your dental appointment.

Option b) General Anaesthesia at the hospital

Some people have their wisdom teeth removed under general anaesthesia. This means that they are asleep throughout the procedure. This has to be done in hospital, but it's almost always carried out as a day case, requiring no overnight stay. Typically, patients are asked not to eat or drink for about six hours before general anaesthesia. However, some anaesthetists allow a few sips of water until two hours beforehand.

The operation will not start until the anaesthetic has taken effect. It is often necessary to make a small cut in the gum over the wisdom tooth, and to remove some bone so that the tooth can be lifted out. Stitches are usually put in to help the gum heal.

General anaesthesia can temporarily affect co-ordination and reasoning skills, so you should not drive, drink alcohol, operate machinery or sign legal documents for 48 hours afterwards.

lol 3th option

don`t remove wisdom teeth

If you constantly take care of your teeth (means really carefully cleans your teeth 2 times a day), and your wisdom tooth does not give you problem, you shouldn't worry about it. Just don't forget to checkup with the dentist every year (or 2 years).


A dentist in Pandan Perdana also wants to charge me RM 600 per wisdom tooth removal... I ask my other friend who is a dentist to confirm the price, he said it's around RM500 - 800 for a market price... Howcome some people get to do it at RM1++ & RM3++ per wisdom tooth? Where are these place? Are the dentist there good? I told my dentist wether i can keep my wisdom tooth as i dun hv enuf money to pay for the operation, she said as long as i keep my wisdom tooth clean and it does not have any infection, i can still keep it.... so if there are other dentist that are cheap and good, i'll get my wisdom removed.

hahh....i remove my wisdom tooth last year..it grows horrizontally instead of vertically....it cost me around rm400 as well...but it's kinda pain...did it at my hometown in east malaysia...I recommend u guys this dental surgery.....Klinik pergigian Choo....he give reasonable price and very expert as well...^^

well, if you need to do it, do it quick. if you're going to be studying abroad...make sure you get it done in malaysia!!!

in the States, it will cost me USD$250+ to remove ONE tooth....it's a partially boney extraction, it'll be a surgery, with valium but no aneasthesia...means, i will still be awake shocking.gif

i've worked also in a dental clinic before when i was home, get it done. dont wait till it hurts and you cant sleep. i've seen many cases with horrible inflammation, and it could also push your molars towards the front which could cause crowding

They use valium...? Wth... how many pills would they have to pump you with to allow for a painless wisdom tooth extraction... What ever happened to the good ol'injection or that anaesthetic gel that tasted like your tongue disapearing?

i really dont know, i dont plan to do it here in the States...if it doesnt hurt. though i advise otherwise. haha...

i could call the dentist to find out. the dentist did tell me that i will most probably be smiling during the surgery, with the valium

I have my wisdom tooth growing horizontally...

The dentist told me that it wouldn't hurt, but yeh, that's what he told me too, when he yanked out one of my milk tooth (er.. two teeth stuck together at the base to make 1 tooth), so, learning from hindsight, I didn't do it with him, but judging from the posts above, this "intravenous sedative" procedure seems good! This tooth has been like this for about a year now with no problems, though I do have a lil bit of trouble cleaning it lol. If it does start to gimme problems Imma look into I.S!
