Horizontally impacted wisdom teeth?

My dentist did an OPG and I have horizontally impacted wisdom teeth. It’s £500 per wisdom teeth extraction as it’s so close to the jaw but I’m scared I will get nerve damage from the procedure.

Also I wear my retainer from my braces - will this prevent my wisdom teeth moving my remaining teeth or not? I was thinking of postponing the removal until they were causing my pain but I’m worried the teeth will make me teeth wonky!

£500? That's not an NHS price ...

NHS dentistry is pretty much non-existent these days

No not if you look hard and go regularly - my son's wisdom tooth was extracted for free.
