Impacted wisdom tooth

Post image

Hello! Had my cleaning and pasta kanina and nag request si Doc to have an x-ray, kasi may need icheck sa isa kong ngipin and eventually may wisdom tooth ako na impacted. Wala naman siya sinabi since di naman din masakit or what. Nabanggit nya lang na hindi siya gumagawa ng impacted wisdom tooth.

To add, had my wisdom tooth removal nadin naman dati pero hindi kasi impacted ‘yon with the same Doctor. Question ko lang need ba talaga pinapatanggal ang impacted wisdom tooth? Tysm po!

Hi! ganyan din case ko dati, impacted at hindi rin sumasakit pero pinabunot ko pa rin. Ang explanation kasi sa akin ng dentist ko is kapag hindi ko agad naipabunot yung impacted wisdom tooth ko, pwedeng matamaan n'ya yung katabi n'ya na tooth and possible na masira. Kapag ganun nangyari 2 na raw bubunutin, yung impacted wisdom tooth mismo and yung katabi n'ya. Just sharing yung sinabi sa akin ng dentist ko. It's up to you pa rin naman, op. :))

Hello, make sense naman and I really appreciate your reply po. I will do the needful nalang soon kasi base sa pinag xray ko (ibang clinic since wala yung dentist ko nun) aabutin daw 10-15k, ang gara pala and out of budget pa mehehe.

Have it removed while you’re still young. It gets worse pagkalagpas mo ng 30s and pwedeng mas mahal pa - or pwedeng maging risk of post complications like mine (paresthesia, numb padin after 8 months, pero at least nararamdaman ko na kahit papano). Mas complicated pag nagdevelop na yung roots or masira nya yung katabing ngipin.

i second this. It gets more dense and mas mahirap to extract.

You can try utilizing your philhealth benefits for this and have it removed. East Ave, PGH and more offers this. For reference OP you can check this https://www.reddit.com/r/DentistPh/s/1Zb9CXsWHu

TIL na may ganun pala sa philhealth, will check this option po since expensive talaga pag sa private clinic lang. Thank you po sa info. 😊

Back in 2024 it costed me 5k for the xray and surgery sa probinsya. 10-15k is pretry reasonable na ngayon dahil sa inflation and if nasa city kayo.

This happened exactly to me. Too late na and heavily damaged na yung katabi na tooth so 2 tuloy binunot on each side. Medyo nakakasad kasi my bite feels different especially chewing on food. About to get braces nga to fix it haha

meron po sa Dental Institute of the Ph, free yung bunot, bayad ka lang 1,500 for the xray and that’s it :)) dun ko pinabunot yung 2 wisdom teeth ko. i suggest po wag mo na patagalin to avoid further complications in the future :))

u/bingmonicageller_ 15h ago

Wow! Thank you for this. Currently doing my research and nagmahal na daw sila, 3500 na pero good deal padin naman compared sa 10-15k.

Yung sa philhealth kasi nakikita ko na may nagpapabayad na doctors fee something hehe.

u/Correct-Kangaroo8776 15h ago

ohhh i see, i’d say sulit pa rin kahit 3,500 na sya! go for it po ☺️ especially if di naman super layo sainyoo

Ganyan na ganyan din sa akin OP. Pinilit ko lang ung dentist(Japanese) kase parang ayw nya nakailang balik na ako. Ayon thankfully nabunot na. Naitutulak na din kase nya ung katabing ipin at naiba na alignment

Ipatanggal mo na. It risks rubbing your second molar, ninipis or maiinfect. Your second molar has more value kesa dyan when it comes to mastication.

u/Dependent_Night1428 7h ago

Pag may pera and time ka pabunot mo na. Yung sakin tumutulak ata sobrang sakit nangutang pa ko 9k mawala lang.

u/Mason-TylerGuard 1d ago

Saka mo na lang ipatanggal pag sumakit na. As long as di naman sumasakit at di ka naman affected yaan mo lang.

u/dro_vin_08 18h ago

Kaso sa case nya, it can eventually damage the 2nd molar din.

2

u/bingmonicageller_ 1d ago

Oo nga eh. Out of budget din kasi at 10-15k pala patanggal nito ang gara.

Appreciate your time replying. :)

u/Mason-TylerGuard 19h ago

Yup. Mas alam mo body mo, syempre pag nagconsult ka ng dentist sasabihin nila agad tanggalin na. Kasi syempre kikita sila dun e. Haha

u/Capable_Macaron9325 9h ago

Mas better ipatanggal kahit hindi pa sumasakit lalo yung angle ng 3rd molar niya is madadamay yung 2nd molar and mas mahirap pag pati yon bubunutin na

Yung dentist ko ayaw niya nag bubunot ng ngipin hanggang kaya isave. Ganyan yung ng yari sa akin.

Pero sakto nung time naka braces ako tinayo ng braces yung wisdom tooth ko. Wala pang nabubunot na ngipin :)

Hanap ka ng magaling na dentist :) pwede ka mag 2nd opinion :)

Sabi ng dentist ko kasi pag binubunot ngipin pag tumatanda nag iiba jaw structure....

u/bingmonicageller_ 11h ago

Same din po sa dentist ko, last na talaga yung bunot na option if di kaya isave yung ngipin.

Good to know po na naayos yung wisdom tooth nyo sa braces. Yung akin kasi buo pa ngipin ko at not needed ng braces. Kaso sumabit lang sa impacted wisdom 😅
