Wisdom teeth removal (no pain though)
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 9:51 am
One of my wisdom tooth is growing, 3 of them seem to be stuck semi-exposed and won't budge.
They've been in the same state for 2 years before my braces, and the ortho even stated on his consultation result that 3 of them are impacted. But he hasn't said anything about getting them pulled out.
My hygienist (seperate entity from the ortho), was more concerned about my wisdom teeth and told me to get a decision from my ortho about them, but I completely forgot to ask him.
I'm a little concerned because I've just finished orthodontic treatment (braces) on my teeth, and I'm worried that it will ruin my teeth alignment.
I don't have any pain what-so-ever, and as far as I can tell it's not a major hygeine issue for me as far as cleaning is concerned.
I'd like to get it removed though to protect my teeth alignment, and it could be a potential problem later on so I'd like to take preventative steps.
Do you think the NHS will cover this? I am not in pain right now.
If the NHS won't cover it, how much will it be to remove the 1 exposed wisdom tooth, and the 3 impacted ones.
Total
