$800 - $2000, depending if they are impacted ($2000) or simple ($800)
An adult human has 32 teeth, not 16. 16 on top and 16 on the bottom. 4 of these teeth, 2 on top and 2 on bottom are the wisdom teeth. The wisdom teeth are located at the very back of each side of the mouth, behind the last molars
They are called "eights" ~ extra wisdom teeth, which is uncommon. I had 2 on my upper set which I had removed. Consider yourself "special"=) I also have two more wisdom teeth in upper part
A full set of teeth is 32. That's 16 top and 16 bottom. Remove 2 for the wisdom teeth and you will have 14 on the bottom jaw.
Two weeks ago, we paid $1,204.00 for four wisdom teeth to be extracted. This was done by an oral surgeon who was also a medical doctor which may account for the high cost. We used this person because my son has bad allergies so we wanted the medical doctor expertise as well.
I just recently had my wisdom teeth out and it cost about $250 a tooth. Don't let cost get in the way of getting them out if possible. I was told to get my wisdom teeth out about five years ago and since I waited so long my wisdom teeth pushed up against the molars they were next to and damaged them so they had to be removed as well. I was also getting infections in them. For me, the initial price (For just the wisdom teeth) was $2300. That's everything the anesthesia, removal, etc. Fortunately my oral surgeon told me to ask the receptionists if there was any kind of payment plan or anyway I could knock the price down a bit. They were able to lower the price to $2237, which was even lower than the inital price for just the wisdom teeth alone! Make sure that when you go to have your teeth removed you ask about a payment plan. Most people go into the health-care field to help people.
Yes. If your mouth is big enough, like mine is, there is no need to remove the wisdom teeth. I know many people who have all of their wisdom teeth, or only had 1 or 2 removed.
You should wait 2 weeks after getting your wisdom teeth taken out to safely play football. You should wait longer if this procedure had complications.
If it has been that long just go see an oral surgeon.
As mankind has evolved over the millenniums, the human jaw has grown smaller. The third molars (wisdom teeth) are remnants of a time when the jaw was much larger. Consequently, there often is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to properly erupt, and they become impacted.
We have four, two on the top and two on the bottom. i was a really weird case but i had 3 on the top and 4 on the bottom, so 7 in total i got mine out last week, all of them, and it has been a total nightmare. Normally there are four. But there are exeptions, some people have wisdom teeth missing. Other people have surnumerary teeth, meaning extra wisdom teeth.
2 and 1/2 weeks
NO! Taking out your wisdom teeth is orthodox but offers no significant advantages over leaving your wisdom teeth in. However, many orthodontists think that for those with a smaller mouth it's the best thing to do.
