2. Postoperative Medication: After extraction, medications such as anti-inflammatory or pain-relief drugs may be required. Different medications vary in price, thereby affecting the overall treatment cost.

3. Regional Differences: Due to variations in economic development across cities, tooth extraction costs can differ significantly. Generally, first- and second-tier cities have higher fees than third- and fourth-tier cities, although they often offer better procedures and service standards.

It is recommended to visit a正规 medical institution and choose the appropriate extraction method under a doctor’s guidance. After tooth extraction, avoid consuming cold, spicy, or irritating foods such as ice cream, Sichuan pepper, or chili peppers, as these may impair healing.
