It depends on what dentist you go to prices vary. It also makes a differences if it broken off or not, or if it has cut yet (come in). There may be a dentist college in your area, and they will provide services free or at lower cost to practice on you. The students are under supervision and and are only put to practice when their instructors are sure they are ready. Price would also vary if you had to go to surgery for it. Also depends what anestehesia you have.

um, we dont really need it.  lol @ the guy above who said that we lose 35% intelligence. \nBut why do u want it removed? \nI had crowding in my teeth, and i got braces. I had to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed. But, you should get it removed one at a time. These are really permanent and deep rooted teeth. Im sure ur dentist would not remove them all at once. I had to get stiches for the removal of 2, it was that hard to get it out. \n\nIf it doesnt create trouble then dont. Do you really want to be stuck with sedative injections in ur gum and then having it being pulled with force if not required? ( and the injections really hurt, when they push the medicine in. They stick u 2-3 times). 2 of my wisdoms removed easy, in about 5 mins of pulling. The other 2 were a real pain. took 30 mins, they had the suction machine to suck the bleeding that was there (it was alot). They drilled it with a machine to split the tooth in 2 pieces as it was deep rooted. The drilling hurt alot, depite the sedative injections they gave. It really hit the core of ur nerve. They then stiched it up. \nAfterwards,  u cant really eat freely for a few days. Your mouth would obviously be swelling alot. And you would have to take anti-biotics tablets to prevent infection. (which means, u could get  and that would be worse case senario).\n\nSo if u dont have a choice, then u dont. If u do, its all a matter of if u want to go through the not very nice proceedure :)

http://www.animated-teeth.com/tooth_extractions/t8_extraction_costs.htm\nsays"\n "ballpark" estimate of the price that you might pay to have a tooth extracted by a general dentist.\n    $75.00 - $140.00 \n\nBut my experience is that with X-ray, anesthesia, etc it can easily run into $500

Cheap, pull it.\n\nIf salvageable, expect starting price of $1800 for root canal and crown.

If your dentist refers you to an oral surgeon, then that is what you should do.\n\nThere are dentists who will knock you out to pull your wisdom teeth.\n\nIt really depends how deeply impacted your wisdom teeth are. i had it done while awake and I recommend serious drugs or twilight sleep because it was a TERRIBLE ordeal for me. They had to break my teeth before they could get them out. Dentists will refer you to an oral surgeon if your wisdom teeth are seriously impacted.

I hear it only works for people who need relatively minor changes in their mouth and here it can run anywhere from $3000-$8000, depending on the severity of the case.

It depends on how many you are having pulled and if they are impacted or not.  I had four impacted wisdom teeth pulled at once and it was very painful. I had to take double the dosage of pain medication.  And my cheeks were very swollen for two to three days.  But I have heard that is is not as bad when you have less to pull and if they have already come through the gum.  Good luck!

They really don't get that high of pay considering what their overhead and education cost.  The education alone can cost well over 100 grand.  Add this to start-up costs and you have a struggling professional like many of us non-dentists.  For example the sensor for a digital x-ray system alone can cost around fifteen thousand.  This is for the sensor only.  You have the cost of the computer systems, software, people who install it, and the x-ray machine which can cost twenty thousand and more.  I know of several dentists that have been doing dentistry for about five years who are still only breaking even on many months.  The money comes after you have been practicing a long time and are able to pay-off your loans for equipment and building or rental costs.  My instrument set-up to scale and clean people's teeth is about 150 dollars per set.  I use a new sterilized set on each person.  I have about ten instrument set-up's.  You do the math.  These instruments have to be replaced about every six months depending on how heavy the patient load is.  One instrument alone can cost twenty-five dollars.  A box of prophy paste costs about fifty dollars.  The dentist also has to pay his staff, as the dental assistant mentioned.  He has to carry building insurance, malpractice insurance, disability insurance, etc.  He/she has to pay for someone to fix the equipment when it breaks down, minimum a hundred dollars an hour just for showing up.  This does not even include the parts or labor for the equipment.  I could go on and on, but you should get the point.  Dentistry is expensive to the patient, because it is expensive to the dentist.

See your general dentist so he or she can extract the tooth.  If it is a complex extraction then your general dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon for the extraction.\n\nIf money is the problem then contact the dental school nearest you... the do work at very reduced fees.  Or, you can contact your local health department.. many health departemnts in the U.S. now have dental clinics.

There is a company that offers dental benefits that can save you up to 80% on your dental work. I know they have great savings for that. \nIt costs $11.95 for the benefits package but well worth the savings. They also offer Free Prescription, Free Vision and Chiropractic Care is all included in the $11.95.\n\nGood Luck,\n\nChristy

Hello,\n\n     Congratulations for your new life. I understand that the costs are astronomical, but so many people are ready to have it done that it might be difficult to find a place where they make it for "cheap".\n\n      You know, dental implants are often considered as the best solution, but other good and cheaper solutions exist. Explore these! For example, a well-fitted partial denture can restore a smile satisfactorily in a majority of patients.\n\nI know that it is possible to get surgery done for "cheap" in some countries... It's common for plastic surgery and it's increasingly popular for dental treatments. People doing it put their health at risk, since the treatments are often done in countries where the standards of care are lower than in the "Western World". And even though you get somebody competent, the follow-up can be impossible  if you have problems... And good luck to find a dentist in D.C. willing to work with a "butched" surgery. U.S. and Canada have among the highest standards or dental practice in the world. Don't forget it!

It's going to depend on the dentist and the cost of dental treatment in your particular area of the country.  In Florida, after all is said and done, it's approximately $2,000 per tooth.

Yeah it will probably hurt some, but they should give you some good pain killers! Also you might not be able to eat very well for a couple of days. I had jaw surgery where they broke my jaw and reset it and all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out at the same time...talk about hurting.....:(

Price shoppers are the worst\n\nI get this question all the time on the phone.\nHow the heck can a dentist tell you how much it will cost to get a filling over the phone?\n\nHow many surfaces is it?\nHow phobic are you?  Will you need nitrous? \nhow deep is it?  Maybe it will need  a root canal?\nMaybe your picky and obsesive and will not be happy with\na metal filling. \n\nSmallest  filling  1 surface    $75\nImplant Crown and bone Grafting $5000\n\nhow much will it cost, . . Sheeeeessssh\n\nGood luck \nGo to the cheapest dentist in town and get the cheapest work, yeah that makes sense.
