How much?!!

I'm based up in Leeds. Just looking at my dental insurance docs and I think my insurance might cover £1000 towards the cost, but it's not clear so I'm going to have to call up tomorrow and find out.

Really do need to get them damn thing out tho - can't wait 6 months!

The RAF dentist at QE2 hospital in Akrotiri took mine out before I was posted to the Falklands. Didn't cost a penny.

Privately (BUPA membership through work) all 4 (3 impacted). IIRC I had to pay the anaesthetists' fee which was circa £100 4 years ago.

Had all of mine taken out in hospital, it took 6 months to get the appointment though. Nasty experience!

I went into hospital, day clinic, and he injected me, next thing I remember is sitting in the bus station "zonked out", with all the old biddies saying "look at that drunk", as I slumped on a bench and dribbled...

The funniest bit was waking up the next day to find a knee shaped bruise on my chest after he'd mole-gripped the debris out of the crater he'd made in my jaw.

LOL

P.S. Do it A.S.A.P. IMHO.

Had mine done privately just over a year ago.

I don't do dentists, so had to pay to be put out.

Two teeth out was £350.

Sooooo glad i did it that way.

Had 4 impacted ones done under general anaesthetic on the NHS.
Only 4 weeks from dentists referral.
Quick and easy with pain just for a day.
Only worrying thing was I stayed on a waterworks day ward, but luckily nothing was muddled up.

The place here said they would refuse to performthe surgery if I was not accompanied by another person who would be responsible for me post surgery. Partly so they could pay on my behalf, but also to obtain medication I would need prior to my discharge and also so there was someone to provide transport home for me. A waiting taxi was not acceptable

Where was that done Mosley? Bupa or something? Sounds a lot more reasonable than £1500 for one which isnt even impacted!

I was referred by my normal dentist to this place.... http://www.stfaithdental-rh19.co.uk/...grinstead.html

Apparently there are quite a few places like it around the UK.

Couldn't fault them at all.... except that i was chatting crap all the way home and can't remember a thing about it!!!

Upper ones were taken out by NHS.

One lower was done private, should have been £1000 ish but as I asked for local rather than GA or sedation, and as he had a 'spare 10 mins' it was carried out as a cash job and done for £125.

Other one was taken out as part of a medical research programme and I got paid £250 for it!!

Wife had 2 removed under general anesthetic a few years ago
It was done with BUPA (through work) and was very expensive if I remember correctly.
