Question:
What's the difference between having teeth removed in your dentist's surgery and hospital ?
I was told I needed all 4 wisdom teeth out and my dentist said he would do it in his surgery as he thought it best to avoid a general aneasthetic (or however you spell it !). He has removed two of them in his surgery but wants me to go to hospital for one of the remaining ones. He said it's close to the nerve, which is why he doesn't want to do it. Is he going back on what he said about gen aneasthetics or do the hospital just have a diff way of getting them out ? Also my dentist is a private one (I'm in the UK), will I have to pay to have this treatment in hospital ? Anyone know what the cost in comparison to having it done at the dentist is ? I think I paid about £120 for each tooth out so far. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks.

im a certified dental assistant....you need to find yourself an ORAL SURGEON,(sorry for large caps) they are professionals at what they do and will help you,making you feel more comfortable because they specialize in the profession of removing teeth and overall mainly wisdow teeth removal...oral sergeons are professional at removing wisdom teeth they do all the time probably 20 times a day...they specialize in removing hard to remove wisdom teeth.i would recommend you see one than go to the hospital...ive worked with oral sergeons so i know they are great at what they do...hospitals ARE expensive see if you can make an appointment with an oral sergeon..look one up if you have any trouble see if your dentist can refer you to an oral sergeon...hope this helped
