This post scares me so much. I was supposed to get mine taken out as a precaution like a year ago, but it didn't look like any of them were actually going to impact from the x-rays so I just didn't.
I really just don't want to be put under at all.
Exactly the same as my girlfriend.
She was told to remove them as a precaution about... Let's say 4 years ago.
Everything looked okay though and they never felt like they were coming in
A few months ago she started feeling some pain and what do you know, here they come at full speed.
She always put it off because she was afraid to go under, but of course, that's what's gonna happen in a few weeks.
Doc said it's a bigger deal because some nerves are being hit because of how they're impacted. If she would have gotten them out earlier, it wouldn't have caused her so much pain and discomfort.
I would suggest doing it while you can and before things have the chance of getting worse
Of course, I say this while I have no knowledge of when/if mine will come out.
