Is it better to get all wisdom teeth removed at the same time or do them separately?

Answer 1

That really depends on what your main concern is. For many, money is the main concern. Dental care costs a pretty penny, especially for the oral surgery required to remove the widom teeth. If you need all four removed, it may be cheaper to just remove all four at one time. You will save some money on painkiller and the stuff they use to put you asleep (if you decide to be put under). If you do them all at the same time, you only have to pay for that once, but doing them separately means paying for painkillers each time. Pain is also a big issue with getting the wisdom teeth removed. I got all four of mine removed when I was 13, and I felt horrible for the first two days. I still wasn't completely better for probably a week. For people older than me, it will be worse for them. It may not be a considerable amount worse, but still, it's a possibility. No matter how you set yours up, you will most likely feel pain. Some say that by spacing it out, you don't have to deal with all that pain at the same time. Others say doing all of them together will make it easier because it's done and over with. After getting one or two removed and experiencing that, you probably wouldn't want to go through that again. In a way, it may be better to get all over with, especially if you can only take off so many days from work. All in all, this adivce doesn't and probably won't apply to everyone. To make the best decision, you should probably talk to your dentist or oral surgeon. Talking to other people who have gotten their wisdom teeth removed will also help you make a better decision.

Answer 2

Answer

If you remove your wisdom teeth individually, you would have to go through four surgeries.

Most people prefer to have all wisdom teeth extracted at the same time, and a lot of dentists recommend that as well.

Answer

Depends on if they have grown through the gum line or not and are impacted or not. My top 2 grew through the gum line (normally) and were extracted by my dentist, with local anesthesia. My bottom 2 are impacted (both laying on their sides), have grown half way, but are going to need to be surgically removed by slicing my gums open. In this case, the latter needs to be done by an oral surgeon, so NO they may NOT be pulled all at the same time. It depends on your personal situation.

Answer 3

If the odds are good that you are going to have to get more then one out you may as well do them all at once. I had one done by itself and then the other three all at once. The pain is the same really with one or all, so may as well do them all and get it over with. One thing to consider though is that your mouth will be numbed on both sides which could result in swallowing issues. Because of this your dentist may not let you do them all at once.

Answer 4

All four at once, if you only get two done at one time the pain will be so bad you wont get the other two done. Just get it over with and get them all done i just did and trust me i wouldn't go back to have it done again..
