一次拔4顆在台北馬偕,只花了部分負擔+掛號費150元,醫師技術好,手法俐落,50分鐘就結束,其中還有兩顆需要鋸牙根。術後去杏一買的冰袋還要180元。 I had all four wisdom teeth removed together and it only took me NTD$150, including registration fee and copayment at Taipei Mackay Memorial Hospital, which is one of the medical centers of Taiwan. The dentist was experienced and professional. The whole process took less than 50 minutes, with two of all having dilaceration, which means the dentist had to saw the teeth and do suture. I completely recovered in two weeks and could almost eat as I did before. By the way, the ice bag that I bought in the shop of the hospital took me NTD$180, 30 dollars higher than the amount I payed for the surgery.

@@sunnytai7534 Oh my goodness! The ice bag was more expensive…🥺 Wow. Thank you for sharing your experience in Mandarin and English for the international viewers!♥️
@yakitorisutan in the US wisdom teeth removal usually falls under the purview of the oral surgeon (口腔外科醫生)。even with dental insurance and medical insurance, one's out of pocket expense is still quite hefty. 假如沒有健保在台灣全自費的狀況下價格會如何..
I got all four of my wisdom teeth out when I was in the US Navy. It was free, but the dental surgeon had me get IV sedation for the procedure. I remembered nothing. The only thing I remember was getting out of the wheelchair and into my friend's car, lol
In Australia, the dental costs are also horrendous. Our universal health insurance more or less dont cover dental works. The dental profession seems not want to be part of the universal health care system.
Hi, Tristan, I am really glad that you made this video. As a Californian Taiwanese American, I have been thinking that I wish there is a "tourist group for dental needs", where the members could travel to Taiwan to fix teeth, but tour the cities at the same time, because as you said, the total costs of fixing teeth in America would exceed the total of traveling to Taiwan, fix teeth and play, at the same time. Plus, it would be nice to have a local who knows the dental experts in the area. I may need an implant as I have already have a tooth extracted! Implants are insanely expensive here! Help!

You may consider NTU or Tri service general hospital in Taipei city. These two are national hospital not clinic and the price is fair.
I have a set of bridge done in my lower jaw done few months ago here in N California. They have to pay US$2500 out of my pocket, ad I have already exhausted all my insurance limit. I will definitely spend longer in Taiwan to have my teeth done next time when I come to visit Taiwan. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 4th !

@@Oldbrit I’m so sorry you had to go through that physically and financially! It’s definitely worth the trip to the dentist the next time you’re here. Happy 4th! ☺️
My daughter was told to have her wisdom teeth removed. I wonder why the removals. As I was growing up, this is never a thing in dental world. although the dentist recommended it but I’m still not convinced. God creates them for reasons. Taiwan is not subpar to the US in quality of dental cares, it is actually ether, quality and costs.
