It cost over $2,000 to have all 4 wisdom teeth pulled and for me to be completely knocked out. Insurance covered most of it. I think I paid around 300 out of pocket. I have Aetna insurance. It doesn't hurt at all because you are sleeping but usually the next day it starts to hurt. And you have to keep your mouth full of gauze. But ya know, I took about 4 days off of work (not really necessary) and enjoyed it. I watched tv all day and had my boyfriend getting me anything and everything I wanted. (I'm a big baby) You also get Viccadine (sp) but be careful. I could definitly see myself getting addicted to that stuff. I actually refused to have the doctor write me out another prescription even though I was in pain.

Well I don't know where you live exactly but in the Houston, Texas area it can cost around 2,000 dollars at least for all 4 teeth to get pulled. So where you live it can cost more or less and also depending on if the teeth are infected or impacted....hope this helps!

It really dosn't hurt that bad. You're on drugs the whole time and you don't feel it. Plus, You get to drink as much Cherry LImade as you want. I had all four pulled.
The cost was about 450, with anesthisa and all. Insurance covered most of it though.

It costs quite a bit but maybe you could work out a trade with a dentist if you cannot afford it. Write a letter to a few of them and offer office cleaning services or something. It does not hurt.....they take care of that. Don't worry.

It really depends on the dentist. Prices vary a great deal. Best to get the phonebook out & just call around & ask the price of the procedure. In my experience it's been anywhere from $85-$110. As far as the pain, it's not pleasant, but it's really not that bad.

My brother is an oral surgeon. The cost depends on the extent of the surgery because sometimes the wisdom tooth is deeply inbedded in the bone. I believe the cost starts at $500 to $750

cheap back in my day in 1970. guessing $45 but now it would cost $200 unless you have insurance like delta which prevents them from charging anywhere near that. they charge whatever they can get. no exceptions. just like lawyers and docs, they are all ripoffs. they rate right up there with the auto garage people. ripoff guaranteed. try dental school, get ins., pay partial and split. rip them off before they rip you off. they have made their bed, the so-called professionals. they are right up their with politicians and carnie workers. another kind of pick pocket. rats

i had one pulled recently and it was $500. the dentist numbed it up and all i felt was pressure. the next day i was a bit sore but it was nothing extraordinary. you'll be fine.
