whosyourdaddy Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Think the wife paid about 2000B for impacted wisdom teeth. buy could vary in price quiet a bit depending if you are put under or not. I friend had wisdom teeth PULLED from within the gums for 400B each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 With todays dentistry there is no, or almost no, pain involved in the RCT (if even required). Don't pull unless required. Depends on the state of the tooth. If it's degenerating then one won't feel a thing. If there's an inflammation of the nerve inside the tooth then one will have to get an injection before treatment for the first 3-4-5 visits. That's the only pain, the treatment itself doesn't hurt. However, dentists usually don't do RTC on wisdom teeth due to its numerous variations. Only endodontics (specialized dentists in RTC) dare to consider this option, provided the tooth is in fairly good condition and location (a rarity among wisdom teeth as they're the hardest to keep clean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Have had RCT done on about half my teeth and as long as any infection is taken care of first there is no real pain. Now if you have to have done fast without the infection being taken care of there is a whole lot of pain as the injections just get absorbed and never get to the nerve. Had that experience once in USA when had to have full treatment in one week. But none done here in Thailand have had more than a slight pain when digging last part of root out. After treatment pain was about a normal headache or less. I had every reason to have fear after the US experience but the fact is they are almost painless. Have had done in Vientiane/Chiang Mai/Bangkok. If your teeth can be saved it is a small price to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 If your teeth can be saved it is a small price to pay. Yep, but not recommendable on wisdom teeth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I believe they are impacted... Wisdom teeth are always referred to as impacted or embedded teeth (by dentists). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
