Even if they only do two at a time, if any of them are impacted into your bones, you won’t be able to chew. Something about physics but chewing anywhere in your mouth can cause the weak spot to crack.
Source: I had all 4 removed and one was impacted. Dentist told me I shouldn’t be chewing on one ‘safe’ side cause still can break my jaw.
I had all four done with just a couple benzos and local anesthetic. Granted they were reasonably accessible and not impacted. I have vague recollections of making a pun while they were “elevating” one of the teeth. I don’t remember the pun, and that’s the worst part.
My doc only takes 2 out at the same time (from one side), so the patient can chew. 4 sounds risky
