An Orthodontist.. is a specialist for Braces, only. \n\nMost General Dentist, can take them out... He'll take an x'ray to confirm its something he can do. If he cant, he'll refer you to an Oral Surgeon, in your area.

If you live around the San Antonio area, an EXCELLENT jaw surgeon is Dr. Tiner.  He did my jaw surgery and is really great, supposedly one of the best in the country.

General dentistry treats all phases of dental needs for patients.\n\nOral surgery specializes to surgical phases of dentistry only, such as extractions or treating broken jaws.\n\nNeither one has anything to do with the cost of care. The cost of providing care is determined by the cost of doing business in your area. Have your "sister" seek out a dental school for hugely discounted treatment. However, she will receive treatment by dental students rather than experienced dentists.

Best have that checked out right away. I waited to long and it got infected. I was in the hospital for 11 days. (4 in intensive care) the dentist was a local doctor with out much experience. He tried removing the tooth, by pulling it giving me 6 shots of Novocain. it wouldn't come out and he broke it. Leaving small fragments in thus winding up in the hospital.\nThe wisdom teeth are said to be removed as soon as possible. If left they push the other teeth out of alignment causing pain and possible jaw dislocation. Seek Medical help right away, and remember...ice is your friend.

If you are eligible for medicaid, and the way your teeth are affect your ability to speak or eat, I think that having them fixed would be covered.  I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out and medicaid covered it because they were causing my teeth to croud and become crooked.  Call your local clinic.  There is usually a clinic for low income people in most cities.  Quite possibly, if they cause you to be depressed and you can get a diagnosis of depression, insurance may cover it for that reason too... I think you should look into it.

You do not HAVE to remove wisdom teeth.  Alot of people need to because they do not have room for them or they are coming in wrong, as in sideways.  If you have room for them, they are coming in right, and dont have much trouble keeping them clean you have the option of keeping them.

There are some dentists nowadays that put their patients under anesthesia even for regular check ups and cleanings. You should look into it in your area, they work especially for people like yourself.

Why remove a wisdom tooth?\n\nhttp://www.members.aol.com/swf08302/wizdk.jpg shows one reason.  This is what can happen by the time you are 40 or 50 if you leave a wisdom tooth in place when it is impacted.  The red arrows on the x-ray show the grey area that has decayed due to the wisdom tooth being present under the gum.  The tooth shown is the exact same tooth shown in the x-ray, but turned so you can see the cavity.  Food and bacteria can get down there and you can't clean it out.  Eventually, it makes a cavity in the tooth next to the wisdom tooth and makes it so you have to have BOTH teeth removed.

Yes, because most people want their teeth seen to by a national health dentist but the dentist would prefer to see private patients.

im not sure the costs, but they pull the wisdom teeth because they may grow and move and disrupt your other teeth. it will give you headaches, and tooth pain. most people usually always get them removed.

wisdom teeth are nothing but the 3rd molars , and is the last tooth to be errupted in the mouth , it erupts between the age of 17 - 21 years , not every person needs to to be pulled out , it depends whether the wisdom tooth has got suffiecient space for errupting in the space provided by your jaw , when ever there is insufficient space the wisdom tooth gets impacted and gives u pain and some times sweeling and infection of gums around the partly errupted wisdom tooth which is called pericorinitis . so the persons in which wisdom has got impacted, should get their tooth to be extracted .\n\n it doesn't fall out or exfoliate itself as its not a milk tooth , its a permanent tooth which errupts at age of 17 - 21

no i think you have been told porky pies. although they are very difficult teeth to remove, i doubt you need any bone removal at all. usually you only need bone removed on wisdom teeth becasue they may be impacted, just go to your dentist for a consult and have a talk and get quotes first.\ngood luck

You can talk to either your dentist and they might recommend an oral surgeon to go to so that they can check your wisdom teeth.  Even though it isn't causing any pain they might recommend having them taking out because it causes your teeth to shift (at least thats what happened to me).

Most adults don't have room in their mouths for them, causing the other teeth to crowd.  \nMore importantly though, the wisdom teeth roots will grow into your jawbone eventually and your jaw will have to be broken to have the teeth removed.

I had to have one done and my family Dr told me who to go to. Actually my Dr's office not only told me who I should go to but made the appointment for me. So ask your Dr.

look in the phone book under dentists, for a dental referral service. tell them your situation, and they will hook you up w/ a list of dentists...good luck with this.  also, check to see if there is a school of dentistry in your area...they will be helpful too, as they need patients to work on. (supervised by a dentist of course) ;o]
