My dentist said that I needed to get my 4 wisdom teeth cut out. I don't have insurance. Please. Help!
Thanks!

It depends on where they are in your mouth. We tell our patients anywhere from 750-1700 and that includes sedation (which I strongly recommend for your comfort as well as the one removing them!). If all four are erupted (completely in all the way and you can see them in your mouth), it should be the lower end. If they are "full bony impacted", expect the cost to be more. It is important to get them removed at some point (the younger you are, the quicker you will recover). If you aren't having problems and may get dental insurance in the future, you might consider waiting. Also, talk to the one removing them (dentist or oral surgeon) to see if they have payment plan or if they can help you with Care Credit. Good luck!

it will depend on the situation with the teeth and whether or not you need to be asleep to have it done.
Where I'm from, it would cost anywhere from 400 - 2000.
Explain your situation to your dentist. He may be able to make you some kind of deal since he's doing all 4. He should be willing to set up a payment schedule for you too.
Don't mess with your wisdom teeth though - it can be dangerous and they infect easily - which usually means hospitalization and can lead to serious health problems.

Funny you should ask...I do have insurance but still cost me $550 out of pocket. I am in Missouri and mine was around $3,500. But like many others have said it will depend upon the situation. I was able to have my upper two pulled but the lower two were impacted and had to be cut out. I was also put to sleep because I have TMJ. My heart goes out to you this is day 6 after the surgery and it still sucks. www.ameriplan.com you can go to this website and sign up for this discounted dental plan...it may help with your cost

My daughter had her surgically removed about 2 years ago and it cost about $2000 dollars.

Well a girl that works in my office had hers done and it was about $3,000. Sorry to give you such news but if you don't have them out you could have problems down the line. Good luck!

between $500 and $700 US dollars.
p.s. poor people wait until they hurt to get them pulled.
my dentist told me that 15 years ago and i still have one.
