Wisdom Teeth - what's your story?

We want to hear from you

On 16th January's Drive Time on 720ABC with Geoff Hutchison, there was a discussion about wisdom teeth extraction and patient rights. Was it OK for a surgeon to charge upfront?

We wanted to give you a chance to tell your story. Also, if you are interested in getting more involved and joining our dental panel we are forming, leave your name and email/mobile at the end of the survey.
