Cost Of Getting Wisdom Tooth Removed?

Former Member

I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum to post this, but I was just wondering if anyone has ever gotten their wisdom teeth and had to have any one of them removed?

If so, could anyone tell me how much it costs to get a wisdom tooth removed?


Thanks, in advance, for all the help and advice from anyone who responds to my post:)

Mine were all done for free on the NHS. Having it done privately under local anaesthetic wouldn't cost too much. If you needed a hospital operation, it would probably NHS as well.

If you're not in the UK, I'm not sure how much you'd get charged.

No I do not live in the UK. I live in the US and I am going to a private practice so it will probably be quite a bit expensive. Oh well, I guess if it is, it is because the tooth really does need to be removed.

Thanks for your help on the matter Karla.

To get wisdom teeth removed under a private practice, it costs about £1400.

I know someone who had a wisdom tooth removed at a dental surgery back in 1999 for £80.

I didn't know that you could do it for free on the NHS, let alone dentistry being existant in the NHS.

I mean "dental surgery" as in the place where you check in every year, and it costs around £5 for a check up assuming that nothing is needed to be carried out on your teeth.

I had my wisdom tooth pulled today and it only cost me like $75 US dollars to get it done.

Actually, pulling the tooth only cost $65 US dollars. The other $10 US dollars was for the x-ray done on the tooth. So it wasn't as much as I thought it would be.

wow, that is not fucking bad. you've got good dental insurance then?

Former Member

No I did not have good fucking dental insurance. I don't have any dental insurance at all and that's all it cost. I really thought that it might be a lot more, but it wasn't. So that was good.

I'm at an NHS dental surgery and it doesn't cost anything for me because I'm under 19 and in full time education...however I think there is a small charge for those who aren't. But I know people who had all their orthodontic treatment done completely free on the NHS at the local hospital...
