I know you are already done by now, but given that your teeth have broken through already. It should be easier for the doctor to do anything. Worse is when the teeth are impacted or deep.
Good luck.

I had mine removed a few years ago and it was a breeze! All 4 of mine were totally impacted and the roots were a tangled mess in my jaw bone. My dentist gave me only a local anesthetic while he did quite a bit of work to get them out (I'll spare you the details). He gave me a mild pain killer which I only needed 1 dose of that afternoon. By 7PM that night I ate a regular dinner with only mild discomfort.
My wife had hers out 2 weeks later (different dentist) and had to be totally sedated. Interesting conversations with her after she was released.
She was in pain for a couple days and had to have tons of pain killers.
Experience probably depends on the individual and the dentist more than anything else. Most of my friends and relatives had an experience similar to my wife.
