Both my bottom wisdom teeth were this impacted and my dentist was screaming to take them out now. I didn’t and for some reason they decided to both just rotate and ended up fine.
My dad’s are like that and he went to a dentist a few years ago that told him “we need to get those out of there”. My dad was just like “why? They haven’t a problem til now and I’m almost 70.” He did not go back to that guy.
Damn. I went to the dentist for the first time ever (37) and my dentist was cool about it. She said if they’ve never bothered me, who gives a shit at this point. Fixed my cavities and told me I was awesome.
“Impacted” sounds like unbearable pain. No? Got a good story about mine. Bear with me.
Got my top 2 out because they erupted sideways, actually cut my finger, thought it was a stuck Dorito. Shit had to go. Got the bottom 2 while I was under general.
First time completely under. Dentist said I wasn’t going home until my gf could drive me. Great! Woke at home with her hovering over my face. She was a little bitchy when I asked how I got home.
“You don’t remember that? Nothing?!”
I had refused to leave the comfy office bed, fought and cussed. Whole waiting room heard:
“FUCK YOU! I’ll take you back there and do to you what they did to me!”
Jesus. (Nurses right about now: Yep. And I know OP is a guy.)
One of mine is like that. The dentist said to just ignore it unless it gives me trouble, or if I’m planning extended stay in the developing world, then I should get it removed before I go, just in case.

Same, they told me I would need oral surgery and to break my jaw open. No thanks. Occasionally they twinge and hurt, but I suppose I haven’t died yet.
