Factors Affecting Cost:
1. Number of Tooth Roots: Typically, wisdom teeth have two roots, making extraction easier and thus less expensive. However, some wisdom teeth may have more roots, increasing extraction difficulty and cost.
2. Oral Condition: The specific oral health status of the patient affects the price. If the patient has existing oral diseases, additional treatments may be required, leading to higher overall costs.
3. Regional Differences: Differences in regional economic development influence extraction fees. Generally, first- and second-tier cities have higher costs than third- and fourth-tier cities, although professional standards and service quality are typically higher as well.
It is recommended to visit a正规 medical institution and choose the appropriate extraction method under a dentist’s guidance. After extraction, maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, onions, and garlic to promote proper healing.
