If it isn't impacted it doesn't need to be removed. Find a better dentist.

Thank you oh reshneha for your wise and timely advice.


OP update?

I had mine removed about 8 years ago even though I couldn't even tell they were there. A few days after, my parents took my brother and family to Ruth's Chris to celebrate his graduation, and I couldn't eat a steak...fml.

Anyway they put me under for the procedure and the only thing I remember from the time they put me to sleep until the time I regained awareness was a faint memory of me trying and failing to drink a glass of milk in bed. Apparently I was walking and talking after the procedure but I didn't remember any of it.

Yeah, I know. 🙁 I have a friend that is a Hygienist (sp?), and works for a Dentist... I'll probably ask him for advice. I trust him.

But you came here for advice first? Lmao.
