Should I get my impacted wisdom teeth removed?

Lately the gums above my wisdom teeth have felt kind of strange. Not so much painful as they are itchy....like I want to chew on things back there. (Almost as if I'm teething)





It doesn't hurt or anything...it's just an annoying feeling. I can feel them underneath my gums. Should I get them removed? I'm not sure if it would be worth the money and/or pain.





Also, how much does it generally cost to do? (I don't have Dental Insurance)





Thanks : )

Should I get my impacted wisdom teeth removed?
I don't know how much it will cost, because I had dental insurance when it was done. i can assure it's probably around 100-300.00 a tooth to extract. It also depends if you are going under or going to be awake.





However, I got all 4 wisdoms taken out when the one on the bottom left was coming in wrong affecting my whole mouth. I would get them pulled, it's not work the pain, and it's not going to change the way you live or chew your food.





Also I would advise, if you have the money, to get them all taken out at the same time, even if the others aren't bothering you. It's a possiblity they will be bothering you later and you will have to go through the process all over again.





GOOD LUCK!
Reply:I received impacted wisdom teeth removal a few years back. Do you have any health insurance?...because if the teeth are still impacted some insurance policies consider it a surgical procedure which they will cover. If not the whole procedure will cost roughly $2000. Extraction costs for impacted wisdom teeth are significantly higher than for erupted wisdom teeth.
Reply:i am having wisdom teeth removed next friday....@ $1800.00 for all 4 and being put completely out
Reply:If you have a gorgeous smile and don't want your teeth to shift when your wisdom teeth do actually erupt, then have them removed by a certified Oral Surgeon, a general dentist doesn't usually have the technical experience to removed impacted '3rds', dental term for wisdom teeth. The cost is based on your desire to have local or general anesthesia, I would go for general, expect to pay about 2000-2500
