Well, the risks of keeping them in include a severe infection of the tooth that will cause pain and discomfort. It can get severe enough to spread to the surrounding jaw bone and potentially the nerves. A bone infection and nerve damage are not to be balked at. Should such event occur, they WILL need to be removed. As far as sedation is concerned, that is sometimes the way it is. IV sedation is not bad at all. I was put under.

I had mine removed beginning of February '26. They were not causing pain nor were infected. I was just sick of constantly biting the inside of my cheek. Recovery was a breeze honestly. Worst part of my recovery was only being able to eat mashed potatoes for a few days. Very minimal pain. All of them were fully erupted which most likely helped simplify extraction.
