I don't even know if I have mine through. Never been aware of any coming through and never had any problem. Hubby had four impacted that were causing major grief, he had to have them removed. |

Are you sure about this Lynn? If so, I will certainly tell him, thanks! He's in Fermanagh and he's working, so I don't know how that affects things. When I was still home (Fermanagh) I had mine removed in Altnagelvin, but I wasn't working at the time, so that was why it didn't cost me anything.
Absolutely positive:) He was also working in Parliament Buildings at the time. Maybe a hospital closer to your BIL's home does it but he definatly had them done. I asked him once I had posted and he assured me:lol: The RVH also has a school of dentistry - he could try there. Lynn xx |

No, completely incorrect - I had one extracted in October and it cost me $0 as it was bulk billed like all my dental treatment to date.

So ASPRILLA, how have you had this all for $0? how/why do you get bulk billed dentistry?
Squeezzie, if you live in Brisbane send me a pm & I'll give you his details. If you don't live in Brisbane, the only thing I can recommend would be to call around your local dentists and ask them if they bulk bill or not. It isn't very common, but I'm sure that most towns/cities will have 1 or 2 dentists that will bulk bill. cheers |

Re: wisdom teeth
Thought I'd add to this as I was referred to public hospital, had specialist (maxiofacial) appointment in January and had them out under general anesthetic last week. Two were badly impacted so not sure if this impacted on anything but it was all covered under medicare, I didn't pay a cent. I didn't have to wait that long for the initial appointment either.

Re: wisdom teeth
It all seems a bit hit and miss!!
My youngest son had to have all 4 removed, they were impacted and growing completely horizontal along the gum, a big problem especially as he had worn full sets of braces only 2 years previous. The wisdom teeth were undoing the work of the braces!!!:eek: Cost........................only just over $3000!!!!!:eek::eek: |

I nearly had to lie down after hearing that news:eek: |
