Questions patients ask

Which counties have the most and fewest dentists per head?

On CSO Census 2022 figures, Cork (1,693 residents per dentist) and Dublin (1,715) have the most dentists per head, while Monaghan (8,161 residents per dentist) has the tightest ratio.

Do impacted wisdom tooth and IV sedation prices vary by county?

Simple wisdom tooth extractions outside the main cities often sit toward the lower half of our guide (€150 to €300), while specialist oral surgery and conscious IV sedation (€700 to €950 for one impacted tooth with sedation, €1,050 to €1,850 for 2 to 4 teeth) are priced similarly across the main regional centres.
