Wisdom Teeth?

How much does it cost(without insurance) to get them removed? Is it safe just to let them come through on their own?

Wisdom Teeth?
It depends on where you live. Try going to a dental school and they won't charge much or anything at all. My wisdom teeth have already come in but i got to take them out too. Because twice a year they hurt like hell. Anyway , it would be considered as oral surgery and it might go up to 300-500 dollars . Depends on if you if live on the west coast where everything is expense or some rural town. But i would try a dental school first. Or you can call 1.800. dentist and see if they have a sliding scale depending on your income.
Reply:If your teeth aren't hurting -- just let them come in. It's not always necessary to remove them.
Reply:like more than a 1,000 dollars
Reply:Its considered surgery they usually put you in a twi-light sleep state to remove them. That's what they did to me. You wake up with wades of cotton in your mouth and they tell you your done. It's very expensive.....about $4-5000K.....probably. Price it through a oral surgeon....that's the doctors that perform the operation, they will probably tell you that you have to be evaluated first.





Not removing wisdom teeth that are coming in crooked can cause allot of problems...especially if their half way erupted and sideways, they could stay that way if theres not enough room in your mouth (which was my case) they cause really bad pain in your ear and down your arm, headaches, bad breathe, and ear infections.
Reply:You don't need them removed...only if your dentist says they need to come out.

you can just let them grow in on their own but you should check with a dentist first.
Reply:They should only come out if they're causing problems like pain. When I got mine out, I had insurance. but they didn't pay. It was around $1500. That was for all 4 of them though.
Reply:Its safe but you may have pain they tend to rot because they have no enamel I'm gonna get mine pulled in a month from now. The cost is $137.00 per tooth if they are all ready through the gums I dont Know the cost if they have to cut them out. Good Luck
Reply:If your wisdom teeth aren't hurting then it should be ok to leave them, as I know people who have done that. But its best to speak to your dentist and to at least get a full mouth x-ray done as you want to make sure there are no problems with how they are growing.
Reply:Plenty of people have their wisdom teeth; you only have to have them removed if they're hurting you or doing damage to your other teeth. If you do have them removed it'll probably cost you more than $1000 if you're uninsured. (I had two of mine out a couple of years ago and although I only paid about $100, my insurance covered another $1100.) You can also have one or two teeth removed if they bother you and leave the others be.
Reply:Wisdom teeth have the potential of causing a whole mess of problems, including impaction, pain, gum infection, crooked teeth, and cysts. It's best to have them removed.


You are looking at about $175-300 per tooth. Some docs are willing to negotiate a payment plan if you put down some sort of deposit.


The good news is that it takes a long time for them to come in, so you have time to save some money or get insurance.


Good luck :o)
Reply:As long as they are not pushing the other teeth out of alignment and you are not having problems or pain (other than the normal pain from cutting teeth) then it is OK to let them come in and leave them. I am not sure of the cost but I do know it can vary depending on if there are complications (like being impacted or if the root has started to grow into the bone). The only time I know of that they would want to remove them if they aren't causing a problem would be sometimes with braces. I had mine removed at 16 as soon as they started to come in because the doctor said otherwise when they came all the way in it could push the teeth out of alignment and defeat the purpose of having worn braces.
Reply:Somewhere between $400-$450/tooth. They might not come out on their own especially if there is no space for them to erupt. And if left alone, they can develop a cyst. Some won't, but if you want to leave them alone make sure your dentist checks them regularly with an x-ray to make sure no cyst develops. It might be more cost effective long term to just have them removed.
