I have all of mine left, and I'm not letting a dentist pull them... I think the roots have grown into the bone, that could be a major operation... So what I do is hope they won't become too painful, but for sure I'm not letting anyone touch them... I've heard lots of stories about how bad it is (in fairness, heard good stories too), and I'm so scared of the thing... If they ever have to be removed, they're gonna have to anestise (sp?) me...

Sorry, this isn't too encouraging... Hope it will be ok for you, good luck!!!
