Wisdom Teeth Removal - $1006 = $260
Put to Sleep - $500 = 400

Total of what I have to pay = $660 - Right out of MY pocket, and I have to pay That day, but of coarse, I will be reinburst on being put to Sleep, so I will get my $400 back, but Im not sure when. So Im wondering, is it worth all that money?, or should I not be put to sleep and endure all the needles and one hour+ of pressure on my jaw?
what happend to canada's free healthcare???? i'd recomend getting put to sleep....it would be worth it, because even when you wake up your mouth is going to be in alot of pain....then you have to go to an orthodontist and get a retainer to make sure your teeth don't get messed up, my friend got perscribed vicaden after his wisdom teeth removal and was like a zombie for a week and almost got addicted to the pills.
