No, for your own safety they should review your xrays with you and discuss the surgery to be certain the right thing is being done and to assess any risks with the procedure.
The oral surgeon is getting information about your health history and you are getting to know your oral surgeon. You can express your reasons why you want to have your procedure ASAP.
This is possible, you will just need to find a general dentist who is comfortable with extracting them.
You should have a consultation because this way the doctor and you can go over any concerns or possible complications. Also, the doctor will go over medical history and medication to make sure you're not on a blood thinner or a diabetic. Everything is connected, so it is important to talk to the dentist before having anything removed.
