Tooth Extraction Isn’t Scary

Tooth Extraction Isn’t Scary

Today, let me share my experience of having wisdom teeth removed.

 I didn’t want to remove my wisdom teeth before because I’m afraid of pain. Seeing others get their teeth extracted in the past looked too terrifying, so I dared not do it. Later, a dental friend of mine recommended me to get checked at Zhuhai Vickong Dental after learning about my situation—he had a good experience there, and the initial examination is completely free.

This was my first time having a tooth extracted on the Chinese mainland. I’d checked their official website in advance and found their facilities, environment, hygiene, and techniques quite impressive, so I finally decided to go with Zhuhai Vickong.

The dental clinic is close to the border checkpoint—it took me about 10 minutes to walk there after crossing the border. After filling out the form at the front desk, the nurse took an X-ray of my teeth and found that one of my lower wisdom teeth was impacted and had to be removed; otherwise, it would easily cause inflammation.

It was morning, so I got the extraction done at Vickong directly. With anesthesia, the extraction didn’t hurt at all, but the pain started when the anesthesia wore off. The doctor told me not to brush my teeth for a day after the extraction, as it might affect wound healing. In the days after the extraction, I only ate congee and recovered quickly. Now I can eat normally! Remember to take good care of yourself after extraction.

The clinic charged only 800 RMB for removing my lower wisdom tooth. They made me feel very reassured, so I plan to come here for teeth cleaning next year—their professional teeth cleaning is only 98 RMB, which is really affordable.

In summary, if wisdom teeth are deeply positioned or compress nerves, the surgical difficulty and related costs will increase accordingly. That’s my tooth extraction experience, hope it can serve as a reference for you!
