Hi,

Recently visiting the dentist and was told that i would need to have a wisdom tooth removed but that a standard dentist wouldnt do that i would need a dental surgeon (as the tooth hasnt fully erupted) and that it will cost in the region of 350 euro as a private patient but that under my medical card i can get it done for free at the dental hospital which has a two year waiting list. As there is a risk of damage to my back molar and recurrent infections I cant really wait two years to get this done. I was wondering does anyone know of a dental surgeon in the greater Dublin area that would accept medical card for this proceedure?

Would really appreciate your help on this matter as Im in a lot of pain and do not have 350 to spend on getting a tooth out.

thanks...
