only when the wisdom tooth is causing u problems.. if not, not recommended to undergo wisdom tooth extraction.

Currently, im experiencing pain in the wisdom tooth area. the tooth is not fully out of the gum. its cny and now im having pain. is there anything that can help with the swelling? or do i need to wait to go see the dentist and get the antibiotic to help with the swelling.

Exactly same as mine now
Mine is bottom left 1
Planning to go to the dentist to extract it out asap

just keep that site clean from food debris.

just gargle with mouthwash you have access to: salt water, listerine, Difflam etc...

purchase pain killers from your nearest pharmacy.

antibiotics? no need.

I having a wisdom on my bottom right...sideway! sigh

No pain up till this level, exposed half of it but recommended by dentist to have it extract. So i guess its gonna be a surgery..but i have 0 knowledge about this surgery. First what is LA and GA? which one can be done less pain? and any good recommendation of clinic around kl or pj? would expect 800 ++ per tooth?

Any good dentist at Kajang or Serdang area with reasonable price? Can someone recommend as I need to extract my lower wisdom tooth asap. The funny things is I feel the pain only at night, even pain killer doesn't work for me now, too bad... thanks in advance.

I did my wisdom tooth extraction at Damansara Uptown, i think it's called Uptown Dental Surgery, next to speedmart 99.
Very skilful dentist I think he's graduated from Australia. Cost me about RM 800 without sedation, but the procedure was almost painless, but he did warn me about the after effects.

I have removed both bottom wisdom tooth(diff time) within a year.

reason, its got weak and crunch to half.

first time is RM160, second time oso about the same.

at Kota Damansara - http://www.malaysiasmile.com/

go pudu, those dentist there only charge rm90.

i just got my wisdom tooth pulled out this morning (no operation), but it still pain & got a bit blood by now(after 5 hours), is it normal? how long will it pain?

Yes, it's normal. It may continue to bleed for another day.

it's that expensive if you remove it in private dental clinic, my brother pull it for 800bucks per tooth, and it will pain for a short period after you pulled out

the bleeding gets better d, but still got a bit pain & gum got a bit swollen also, got to take panadol
hopefully will get back to normal tom been eating porridge & bread for 1 weeks d

800bucks is pulling out or operation? the dentist charge mr rm80 for pulling out...
ur brother still pain the next day?

yeah.... you should remove it if it's giving you problem.... taking medication will stop the infection and pain but it't not good for the long run.... get it done once and for all....

kumur with salt water many times... it will help to cure the swollen gum...

take some pain killer and go to your dentist right away. that's to painful to tolerate

Just don't mind the expense when you go to a dentist because its the quality service that matters.

I had mine done at Prime Dental Clinic at Setia Alam (shah alam) in December 2011. I chose to get the top left one out first. It's not impacted and it was a really easy removal (cost me RM150).

First dentist gave me 2 shots (one of the outer gum and one at the inner gum) and wait for a few mins. Not sure what she did but it felt like she's using the flat screwdriver to pull out the tooth abit so it'll be looser and in the end she probably use those pliers to pull it out. My gum was not swollen or hurt in the process.

She advised me to take 1 painkiller after 2 hours and I did but after 4hrs of taking the painkiller, totally no pain at all. I suspect if i didn't take the painkiller, probably won't feel any pain at all. However, bleeding was going on for about 3 days but minimal only.

Will be getting the other 3 out soon!!

got my bottom right extracted this afternoon, minor surgery
luckily mine wasn't impacted, so only need to cut open the gum then yank out the tooth
first consultation + x-ray + 2nd visit for extraction + medication = RM51 for total damage
i guess mine is the cheapest among u guys

did it at a polyclinic nearby my house
overall d dentist is very professional, and excellant service. 2 thumbs up!
