The swelling is normal and sounds very mild in your case.
The dentist must have been quite experienced.


My brother said his friend had fever, gums and side of his face swelled
really badly and painfully, and he had to survive on porridge for a month.

The security guard in Sri Hartamas where I work said his swelled
for two weeks, eating porridge as well.


If the $250 is for a surgical procedure (cutting the tooth in half, cutting the gums too),
then it is really cheap by today's prices.



This MAHSA college has a dental clinic at the ground floor of Wilayah Complex.

The guard at the reception counter said real cheap - normal procedures like
extraction and filling costs just $10, done by students under a dentist's supervision.

You could try asking the cost of wisdom tooth surgery there.


Way back in 1994, Dr James Loh, clinic on top of Kentucky, opposite the old
Federal cinema in Jln Raja Laut, charged me just $200 for a root canal on the
bottom right second molar, which is still good to this day.

I was then supposed to have followed up with surgery for the wisdom which had
impacted into it, which would have cost another $200 then. However, I lost my
guts and did not do so ! The wisdom is still impacted there to this day.

I heard he's shifted to Pantai and now charges some $750 for wisdom surgery.

Just removed my bottom 2 wisdom teeth yesterday surgically at Klang GH.
Was put on general anaesthesia. Total paid RM53 only.

Both sides of my face still swollen now, no fever though, having yogurt for breakfast and porridge for lunch and dinner. Need to go back in a week time to remove the stitches.

my lower left wisdom teeth had been bothering me for 3 yrs edi

when i was studying, not convenient go for treatment ...always pain for few days then gone, once i get back hometown, no pain ...so forgotten d

last time it was fully impacted turt, now it's semi d

but whole treatment takes few days only rite ? i mean pull out till it fully cured


does typical premium medical insurance covers the cost for this ?

what is the risks if it's done by inexperience dentits?

the best dental clinic with ward in penang is which one ya ? i gonna go there for cabut next year when i got nbtd and opt for best 5 stars ward for overnite lol if it's covered by my medic insurance

aik!!! shouldn't have opt for GA... docs are extremely rough when you are under.... that's why you are having swelling now....

Ahhh. Oh well.
A family friend introduce me to this doctor, apparently he is really good in removing wisdom tooth. 3rd day now and the swelling doesn't seem to be going down.

But I think I would be more scared if I were concious. Haha.

My lower bottom wisdom tooth took about 10-15 minutes, no surgery and it costed me around RM110 back to the year of 2011

Quite cheap. If no surgery is required, it is usually not impacted.

Hi guys, where can find cheapest dental surgeon to remove my lower impacted wisdom tooth in melaka? Gh appointment is in September but I cannot stand the pain already. On and off infection. 3rd time for this month already.

hmm so what is the latest price for wisdom tooth extraction?
i got 2 some more

Extracted a 45 degree wisdom tooth (bottom left) last Saturday.

Dentist injected about 4 times of LA. She then had to drill the tooth. Kept having feeling that it's been 'drilled' so she injected more LA.... I think maybe 10 times in total?

After having a hard time taking out the first piece (she had to break the tooth into 3), she tried to take out the 2nd piece but it didn't want to come out so she broke it into 2 again. Finally after it's out, she had to make sure the area does not have any small fragments of broken tooth from drilling earlier.

She 'sew' back the gums and yeah... not much bleeding (as per my last 2 top normal grown wisdom tooth). No pain at all.

Into day 5 now..... need to go back to dentist to get the threads out this sat! I think it's going all right!

Gonna get the last one out 3rd week of Aug!!

Cost me RM750 though...

mine is growing straight out but is impossible to clean / floss , so gonna take it out soon.

anyone tried driving back after sedation, is it dangerous?

no driving for 8 hours after sedation... I have a patient who lied about it and drove home.... luckily nuthin happened but he couldn't remember how he ended up at home!! the last thing he remembered was arriving at my surgery.....

ewww..... ur pic just look like mine... i did my extraction many months back.... the upper part is easy job..then down part is the pain in the arses...find a good ortho surgeon cause its not a simple task. they need to break it into few pieces, cut a bit if not enuv space n sew it back. if its near the nerves it might have risk cause numbness also...
if left untreated it will affect the next tooth to become decay...end up u gotta pull 2 out...

do you mean sedation during surgery the patient was asleep or just the normal sedation that the patient was awake during the surgery?

I remembered i had to remove wisdom tooth my left bottom side at UITM by the specialist itself.

He did it very gentle, but about an hour have to open my mouth, even without the pain, i felt tired opening my mouth for so long

I remembered the whole process. I was not driving but i remembered every single thing after surgery and the journey back home.

During the surgery, the doctor had my eyes closed with cloth, i can only see the tools going into my mouth, and a nurse/student holding a vacumm to suck the blood.

he had to break my tooth to small2 pieces, i think at least got about 8-10 pieces

As my wisdom tooth really touches the nerve, he advice at first he wont be pulling the root, and leave it in.

However since he was being very careful and gentle, he manage to pull my wisdom tooth out without damaging my nerve.

now i have to remove the wisdom tooth on my right side, both up and bottom

I would want to remove both at the same time, at least i only endure the pain 1 time instead have to go for another trip

I have been delaying this surgery for 3 years now i really have to do. It is giving me headache, and i cant sleep at night due to the pain.

I am not on the lookout for a place to do.

My sister told me the clinic gigi in bangsar are doctors whom are professional, however unsure if they do the surgery there.

i am still searching for the clinic which is affordable
