Also, you clearly haven't been keeping your money low if y'all can afford $2,800. ok its like making 50 bcs when I don't have the supply depots to keep up in population e.e | ||

 From googling and talking to my dentist, there are a few different things that can happen. The most likely that she has seen is an impacted tooth towards the front of your mouth. In this case the tooth cuddles up to the tooth just ahead of it and gets stuck at a lower position that does not erupt through the gum line. This is a bigger problem on the lower set because the tooth/nerves that grows down(in a lower position) can sever other nerves relating to muscle control of your face and tongue. The upper ones are not as dangerous (apparently) if impacted forward, the only danger is removing them later can potentially damage the nasal cavity. This unfortunately is all through through word of mouth(har har) so I could have misunderstood and whatnot, don't quote me ^^ Anyone have happy stories about not removing wisdom teeth?? | ||

Overall, getting them all removed is probably best in the long run as its 4 less to to worry about regarding future problems caused by decay and old age. | ||

I think dentists charge per tooth, so probably just remove the ones that are causing unbearable pain if you're that concerned about money. apparently the teeth are gonna press all my other teeth in and make em all fucked up which is terrible (especially since I already got braces so wasted money if i dont remove) And ya on the bill its like 500 each fucking tooth suicide | ||

Is that ever done or recommended? since I only hear everyone getting all 4 taken out Nah she's right, since you can't use the side you pulled out the teeth from for over a week, it's kinda handy to still be able to chew with one of the sides lol. Cost me 172euros for the left side (~$250) last year. Seriously, it takes like what... 3 hours ? so the guy's earning $900+ an hour ? ROFL. | ||

It's always sort of struck me as a scam, considering that dentists pretty much tell every single person that they need to get their wisdom teeth out. Have you never watched the Xrays? For most people they're growing the wrong way or something. Mine, for instance, were going to push against my teeth and get all of my bottom teeth crooked towards the inside. For my friends, the things were shards of teeth. Mine were complete so the procedure was a lot cheaper. I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled out soon too! But my mom is being cheap and says she'd prefer to only pull the left side only or only bottom 2. Is that ever done or recommended? since I only hear everyone getting all 4 taken out This can work but isn't recommended because sometimes the top teeth sort of rely on the bottom ones to definitely stop growing or something like that. The teeth that look completely fine are "cheap" to remove anyway - would rather have that than to have an inequal face structure going on. Some people may not care but yeah I'm not a big fan of botched jobs. My top teeth were fine and I got them removed for $100 each and the bottom ones were $400 each and the dentist had to go dig for them... They don't put you under around here too apparently - it's kind of uncomfortable. Oh also, tooth powder smells disgusting and I scared a little kid when I walked out with my bloody lower lip and my paralyzed face. Someone said it took 3 hours? For me it took like 1 hour and cost $1000. Also again, they said "there's a small chance I'll hit a nerve and you'll permanently lose all sensation in one side of your face" and I had to sign the paper. Hope you guys feel better. ^^ | ||

I need to get all four of mine out, but the right side ones crowned much earlier than the left, so they came out earlier. The one's on the top are quite easy to remove for the dentist. I payed $AU150 for that one and it was out of my mouth literally before I knew what they were doing. Bottom one's are more expensive because they typically go into the bone and have to be drilled out. They are also closer to nerves. Payed $AU350 for the bottom one. I don't have any insurance and all four of mine are going to cost ~$AU1K, so the fact that you're quoted for $US2800 leads me to believe that the US health care system is much more broken than I thought, or you need to find a cheaper dentist. If you haven't had Xrays taken yet, go do that, because they very obviously show if your wisdom teeth are going to be an issue. If you leave them too long, they can fuck up the rest of your teeth, so you'll have to have them removed AND need braces or something, so if it looks like they need to come out, i'd just bite the bullet and get them done. Also, three hours is waaaay too long, wouldn't take more than an hour. | ||
