That is an excellent question, if the teeth are all impacted and have no chance of being functional I would suggest removing all 4 of them. It certainly is recommended to take all of them out at once as this will simplify your recovery; i.e. you only have to do it once, if you are having sedation or general anesthesia you also only want to go through it once. The downside is the recovery time may be a few days longer with all 4 as opposed to only 1 tooth.
