I had mine pulled when I was 19. The dentist had the work done in the hospital, because two of the four were inpacting on the lower molars and were breaking them. The good thing was I was no longer in pain. The bad thing was I got addicted to Demeral pain killers. Our family doctor cut me off cold turkey, after I showed up at her office looking for another refill after three scripts for 30 day's worth.
