Currently my both side wisdom tooth got problem (1 got hole another 1 pain)
Doctor advise is only to remove the tooths..but that time i dint do it..you know why because it cost rm500 per tooth..that mean 2 pcs cost rm1k.

can some one advise where to remove wisdom tooth and good service?

Wah, RM500 per tooth? Where did the you go for consultation? Medical specialist? Or does the dentist need to operate? If it is a normal yank and pull it should cost less than RM100 per tooth.

the one i went at usj taipan la..
any good dentist to recommend me?

taipan, no wonder lah...
i had mine done at JP New Town (State). Same row as the kedai telekom. Place called Regal dental something something (can't remember).

Mine was RM 400 but I did it in a specialist. That amount was inclusive of medication for 1 week and some medication to make me sleep throughout the operation. Mine was difficult to ask mine was horizontal and embedded in the flesh.

I had mine done for RM300 where surgery was required to remove the wisdom tooth. Place: PJ Old Town (Chong Dental Surgery) opposite the wet market.

oh damn the doctor today advise me to pull out also,.. said 500 per tooth
mine is just growing normally .. but not yet fully errupt yet.... no collision..

why should i remove it if i take care of it nicely?

since it's not coliding with any other tooth, then best to take care of it.
if it's too hard to take care of (always get infection/inflame) then might as well remove it.
the back of the jaw is one of the hardest place to clean.

i wonder why dentist always advise to remove the wisdom tooth..in my case i got 1 hole on my left wisdom tooth and I think it can be filled also but doctor said have to extract the tooth.

This post has been edited by AHA: Sep 25 2006, 05:45 PM

because the wisdom tooth is big intrusive and can cause your teeth to go into odd positions.

also its alot less painful to just extract it than to let it grow in, less risk of infection and complications aswell if you just get rid of it.

how long does it take for a fully erupted wisdom tooth to grow?

it varies from person to person.

stil got place to recommend?

ok average.. like weeks, months or years

regarding the growth of the wisdom teeth
i ask the dentist be4 ..... i might take days ? weeks ? months ? and may be years ?
from my experience
only have some problem with my wisdow teeth
the tooth stuck under the gum
and the dentist cut the gum to let the teeth grow ( roughly RM 100++ )
but your case remove A wisdow teeth and cost RM 500+
kinda ridiculous ....
u might try other clinic,
wish you luck

Could you please tell us your age, so i know when to expect a wisdom tooth. Sounds scary, i've got all my teeth perfect, i'm scared there will be new ones pushing it aside

tomorrow i will going to search some dentist

normally comes after 18

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?

This post has been edited by malaysianPotato: Nov 14 2006, 01:31 AM

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!

So expensive?? Thats why i how hard also need to go back hometown (Ipoh) pluck coz i heard my frens pluck normal teeth redi rm100++, wisdom teeth sure more expensive, dentist say my jaw too small, ALL FOUR has to be plucked off!!!! Furthermore one is serious and need surgery, i just plucked off the last one last week. Normal wisdom teeth is rm40-rm50 only, the other 3 are plucked off 1-2 years ago.... the surgerical one is rm150 like that, cant quite remember coz that one plucked off like 2 years ago wan, i took 2 years to pluck off all four.....

tats cheap man...i remember last time i had a surgery to remove my wisdom tooth for rm300-400 per tooth, not to mention the unbearable pain 1 hour after the surgery....

how come i only got one wisdom tooth??
supposingly 4 right??
i'm not mature enough to have wisdom teeth??
haha

LOL !! that's really expensive!! Then, I must consider the fee is comparably very much cheaper at Sarawak. I remember I only paid RM70 per tooth but that one is without much operation , just injection , scan ( extra RM20 if I am not wrong ) and then 'caput' ... not more than half an hour.
p.s: I really scare to see dentist.

I'm an international student and staying in USJ 6. Can u guys pls give me some advices where to go checking the thing in Taipan, the nearest to my place.
May I know how much it costs rouhgly for 1 wisdom tooth extraction? Thank you very much.

This post has been edited by nntrung: Sep 11 2008, 07:27 PM

cost? depends on the condition of the tooth and the procedure of extraction.

i had one of them removed not long ago. the tooth had been fully surfaced, required operation and cost me rm400. my other side of the tooth has partial surface, bigger operation and is going to cost rm800 according to the dentist.

it depends on how the wisdom tooth grows. if it's straight, then it costs as much as a normal tooth removal.

mine grew at a 45 degree angle and it was half way to maturity before i had the guts to go to the dentists, so it cost about rm700 for the dentist to drill the teeth into bits and pieces before pulling it out bit by bit. then they stitched up the hole in my gum. with a needle.

so do it as early as u can!

@_@

is there any case where there won't be any need to extract wisdom tooth?

If its growing straight with no problems then no need to remove!

For me 3 are fine and growing but the 4th one has yet to appear!

mine's growing 45 deg T_T

but then i went to the dentist for yearly checkup last month.
and i asked if my wisdom tooth need to be extract or not she say no need.
asked me to come back for checkup next year and she'll see again..

but then map say better pull it out early.. T_T

My dentist also said if it has problems its better so do something early!

Better go for a second opinion!

thanks for u guys opinions, i think i have to extract it, any good dentist in taipan to go? thanks

This post has been edited by nntrung: Sep 11 2008, 10:55 PM

So far no problem with it except sometimes i bit myself cause it's quite near my flesh..
Yeah, better ask for 2nd opinion just in case but after reading the detailed description by Map, I'm scared... T_T

yah it was quite bad T_T the dentist gave me four shot of painkillers into my mouth. but i left my wisdom tooth for quite long lah, like 1-2 years only i go pull it out
and finally i pulled it out because it was giving me headaches


my sis wisdom tooth grew straight but in the end the dentists pulled it out too, because her toothbrush couldn't reach it, the tooth was slowly rotting depends on your luck lor see ur jaw how long

^ I had the same thing.

So if your case is a bad growth, I believe operation might be needed.

Mine was growing alright, and the dentist just pulled out my tooth in like... 30 seconds? There was no pain itself during the procedure, but there might after (my top left had lots of pain, top right had virtually none).

if u can stillpull it out still ok.... mine the dentist told me have to go for oral surgeon and make some tiny surgery to remove it

I think I better go for 2nd opinion... don't want end up have to do surgery... T_T

total how many wisdom tooth? 4?

wisdom tooth is not wisdom at all. dammit

I chose option a) too.. Dr Ling took out my wisdom tooth this morning.. he cut into six pieces.. I don't remember the whole operation. Only feel the pain after the surgery... He charge me RM1590 per tooth.

just to add some food for thought

3 years ago I had my teeth xrayed. the first wisdom tooth(which was what i had gone to the dentist for) had already emerged, but the other 3 were lodged horizontally underneath the gum(they call this IMPACTED). So I extracted 1 and surgically removed another 2 for about RM550 each(surgery).

this year, the 4th tooth finally emerged, it seems to have righten itself up. So sometimes the teeth won't grow horizontally. Although it might have been because I did braces and there were gaps between my molars and canines.

I had all my 4 wisdom teeth impacted. Had to remove them surgically because my dentist didn't was scared she might hit the nerves.

So yeah, got this maxi-surgeon from Sunway Medical to do it for me. But the surgery was done in Pantai Hospital though. I was referred to him. Forgot his name though, but it was a Malay doctor.

Cost wise very expensive :\ Everything cost about RM8k. Includes stay in the hospital though.

Surgery was alright. It's the part after the surgery. Hahhaha. Can't eat properly because mouth feels weird with all the stitching there. Swollen cheeks. Medication. Thick liquid antibiotics injected into your hand

But I'm all fine now. Well I should be. It's be about 7months since I took it out hehe.

ure rich bro...had mine removed for around 400++

Just got my wisdom tooth removed a few days ago for RM200. But didnt need surgery though.

sure or not ?

i saw the vid damn gross cannot talk for a month apparently. I want to remove the wisdom tooth too f***ing annoying

I had one of my wisdom teeth removed as well (it was growing horizontally) cost me rm600. It hurts for a a week, can't eat with that particular side. After removing the stitches, there'll still be a hole where the tooth was. Best to gargle with warm salt water every night to make sure nothing gets stuck in the hole and eventually gets infected.

do we really need to remove wisdom teeth?

last time i plucked out teeth myself when i was small . just few months ago i went to doctor to do scaling (RM2 at general hospital, ) plus doctor says my teeth no problem. All teeth in correct position + wisdom teeth.

^then no problem.

Just got mine done today. After months of research, i got it done at Penang GH at the cost of RM 55 for the surgery. It took 5 injections for it to numb the area and 1 hour to dig the teeth out, enlarge the cavity and extract the tooth. I receive 5 stitches and 4 day MC.

Reason why i did it at gomen hospital, is because of the relative experience that they have. They are practically doing this daily compared with clinics doing it once in a while.

Another factor is the price.The cheapest price that i found for private clinic is RM 500 compared to the RM 5 for registration and RM 50 for the surgery. Comparing Lam Wah Ee Hospital which is charging RM 1200 for this surgery. there is no competition

I am glad i went to GH to get it done. They were professional and give good service for their price.

how was the experience? was the surgeon gentle?

Wisdom tooth removal is free @ UM.... but done by undergrads... RM100 if done my postgrad students.... RM250 is done by surgeons.....

extraction ur wisdom tooth only will solve ur problem once for all. i just remove it for past 6 month as my wisdom tooth is not going up straight instead its going sideway....

i still remember the painful day.....anyway, i only remove 1 only, the other side....waiting it to grow pain....

either gov or private, gov sure cheaper yet their service is not bad nowadays ....u decide.

do not wait for pain.... remove it as soon as possible... you wouldn't want the tooth in front of it to go bad would you.....

actually depends how your wisdom tooth is coming out..

I had both my bottom wisdom tooth taken out cause it was growing inside my gums horizontally.. Cost like RM350.00 6 years back.. U can check out Sunway Mentari, there is a specialist there..

He will do xray and give u suggestion on how do u want to do it.. If you cannot take pain, he will suggest that u go to sleep using pills or something else..

RM350 for surgical removal by a specialist?? that's CHEAP!!

First of all, there shouldn't be any pain during surgery.... the pills he suggested is most probably a sedation pill and you are not suppose to sleep! some docs use it at high dosage so that the pt will sleep but that's not 'right'.

if the surgery includes seadtion, then RM350 is very good bargain...

Btw whats the use of a wisdom tooth??

wisdom teeth are 3rd molars... they are meant for chewing... for the past 50 years, incidence of impacted 3rd molars are on the rise... reasoning is that our diet have changed.... we are on processed and softer diet.... therefore our jaw is not growing longer than b4, hence the limited space cause the 3rd molar to get 'stuck'......

impacted wisdom teeth were rare 100 years ago......

Wow...nowonder so painful,the teeth pushing itself through your gums

that is 6 years back.. in 2004.. now i dont know how much it is..

I fall asleep during the operation. he use some sort of clamp to keep my mouth open.. Good thing, I dun feel a single pain until 6 hours later.. was on ice cream diet (doc order) for 4 days.. )

frosty... you MAY not have been asleep... the sedation is very potent in the first hour... you could be awake and talking.... but you won't remember a thing!!

Tamsin.... the pain comes from gum infection surrounding that particular tooth... not from the tooth 'pushing' out....

It depends if u need surgery or not..
normally is RM500 each

guys,

i got quoted RM350 to remove my 3rd wisdom tooth via surgery (at seremban) ..appointement is nexy monday..wish me good luck

good luck....

good luck!

i too just got my wisdom tooth removed recently,last wednesday actually.i finished my 5 day ccourse of antibiotics (amoxycillin 250mg),but now i experience pain (quite similar to that experienced on the first day only not so intense) when i eat/drink hot or sweet stuff..is that normal?

sorry can't be a helped, not too sure, had the same prob though, pain when hot or cold stuff,after awhile now there's no pain, but sometimes in the morning, after waking up and if i spit, i can feel there's blood
had mine remove 2 months back, prob is, they can't get it all out (might damage the nerves), there's a partial/tiny bit left inside,

it's not normal.... sounds like your 2nd molar(the one in front of the wisdom tooth) may have a cavity or the roots are exposed due to surgical removal of your wisdom tooth..... check with your dentist when you go back to remove the stitches...

oh my that sounds pretty scary.won''t the leftover tooth rot in your gums,thus leading to pain?

but i did mmine at UH n was told by the dentist that the sutures would dissolve by themselves.so far i think 90% of the stitches have disappeared.yeah she diod say my x-ray showed caries on my 2nd molar.today when i ate i didn't feel the pain,so strange

according to the doc, it's ok and i hope so, my mum had experienced the same things, prob is, her leftover tooth rot and started to cause pain
did the extraction/operation again and it's all good

having second thought on removing the other one

might see the dentist again soon, gotta do a little scaling

you should go get that 2nd molar patch up a couple of weeks from now....

drbarbarian,ok will do.now i'm waiting for my stitches to completely dissolve =) BTW does sscaling actually lead to an increasse in teeth sensitivity?and also does it cause ur teeth to get yellower coz it removes ome kinda protective layer on ur tooth?

kumbang,good to hear that it's ok but if it's bleeding u oughta get ur dentist to look at it

scaling does cause your teeth to be a little more sensitive for a week or so.... it doesn't remove any 'protective' layer and won't cause your teeth to go yellow.....

k thanx

Hi i have to agree that doing at the goverment hospital is not bad at all. Because of the exorbitant cost of doing it in a private clinic i opted to do it with the government and was sent to HKL. My experience was similar, the position of my tooths root plus the fact that it was infected made it a dificult task to get the tooth out. I had a very nice dentist who worked on my tooth but a specialist had to come in halfway to complete it due to the nature of my tooths situation. The overall procedure only cost me Rm 55 and they were very professional when it came to doing their work + i had a specialist working on my tooth! ( i bet that wud have cost a bomb if it was private)

The only downside to doing it in a government hospital is the long wait for your turn. If you have the time and patience, i suggest you get it done with the government. They have the experience and its worthit

I start feeling my right bottom wisdom teeth pain, then wisdom teeth is pushing the 2nd molars which stick to 1st molar which cause it start to decay... what should i do...

i think i go um GH let them see 1st... i check with my local doc it say about RM 800..

Go bargain for a lower price

Any recommended dentist in KL? Especially for wisdom tooth extraction/surgery.

where's your location?

Cheras Tmn Connaught

dr barbarian? are u a dentist? i need to check my wisdom tooth also.

I used to have same problem as you. Better get it remove as soon as possible before it decay. Small town's surgery cost RM150 only hehehe.

When dealing with dentist, you're not the one with the bargaining power.

Who knows what the dentist gonna do to your teeth and gum if he's not happy with what you pay.
