Why lower wisdom teeth usually cost more than uppers
Upper wisdom teeth often grow straight down into softer upper jawbone and can frequently be lifted out as a simple extraction (€150 to €300) in 15 to 20 minutes under local anaesthetic.
Lower wisdom teeth sit at the back of the dense lower jawbone (mandible), where there is often not enough space behind the second molar. As a result, lower wisdom teeth commonly tilt forward (mesioangular impaction) or lie sideways (horizontal impaction). Removing an impacted lower wisdom tooth requires folding back a small gum flap, dividing the tooth into two or three pieces and placing dissolving stitches — putting it in the €350 to €500 surgical bracket (which qualifies for 20% Form Med 2 tax relief).
Why removing 2 to 4 impacted wisdom teeth in one sitting saves money
Conscious IV sedation (€350 to €450) is billed per appointment sitting rather than per tooth, and oral surgeons discount additional teeth removed during the same session (€700 to €1,400 for 2 to 4 impacted teeth). Having all problematic wisdom teeth removed in one sitting means one sedation fee, one week of soft foods and time off work, and one Form Med 2 tax claim.

Questions patients ask
How much does it cost to remove all 4 wisdom teeth with IV sedation in Ireland?
Removing 2 to 4 impacted wisdom teeth in a single sitting (€700 to €1,400) with conscious IV sedation (€350 to €450) comes to €1,050 to €1,850 before tax relief, or €840 to €1,480 after claiming 20% back on Form Med 2.
Why does a simple wisdom tooth extraction not get 20% tax relief?
Revenue's Tax and Duty Manual Part 15-01-12 classifies simple, non-surgical tooth extractions as routine dental care (alongside fillings and scaling), which is excluded from income tax relief. Only surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth qualifies for Form Med 2 relief.
