Extraction is cheaper than removing an impacted tooth via surgery. Have you gone for a check up with the dentist? First you need to determine if the tooth grew normally or not. Going to a government clinic is usually cheaper.

Why would you like it to be extracted? Growing wisdom tooth is normal to be really painful and just bear with it. Others experience some fever while on the process. Soon when it has fully come out, it won't be painful anymore. Unless it's growing abnormally and unusual, then you may ask the dentist on how to deal with it. You may drink some pain reliever to alleviate the pain. To answer your question, the price varies depending on the dentist. Others are too professional and charges big amount like 800-1000pesos. But to other dentists, maybe it's more or less 500pesos.

Well if you want just extraction it is just cheap. The rate now ranges from 400 to 500. But why extract that wisdom tooth. Always treasure every tooth you have. Don't just extract unless they are beyond repair. There is a new way to save an aching tooth and this is not root canal which is quite expensive. This is a cheaper alternative and this is LSTR (Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair). Go and find the list of dentists in your area just like I did when my son was suffering from his aching wisdom tooth. By the way not all dentists especially those who do root canal would recommend LSTR because this would kill their business but mind you, this is really very effective. I am talking through the experience of my son.

I'm not really sure, but my girlfriend's brother had his wisdom tooth extracted because it was impacted. It wasn't really just a regular extraction. It was like a minor surgery because the tooth was impacted. And it cost him around P10,000. Yours may be a different case, so I would suggest you to have a dentist look at it and ask him for the best solution and price.

Nope, don't live in the Philippine. But I can say that until you find out, you can try to rinse your mouth with warm water and salt to help with the pain and the swelling. You can also get a cucumber and bite down on it for a while. The vitamins and minerals of the cucumber will help with the swelling. I know that wisdom teeth are horrible.
