What did your dentist suggest
@creaky? I had one my bottom wisdom teeth out in the chair, didn't feel it - over and done with in 10 minutes. When it was time for a top one to come out the dentist referred me to a dental surgeon to have it out under general anaesthetic as neither him or me was going to enjoy it in the chair.
Fun fact: The dentist told me my wisdom teeth had to come out at the start of HSC. Even had the x-rays done to be sure. My sister had a rough time when she had all 4 out so I decided it could wait. Went back to a new dentist when I turned 30 and he said well I guess they can stay until they cause you problems. At 50 I still have 2 of them.
