Yes, You can get them removed before they come in. Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. It is more likely, that 'will the insurance (if any) cover it or not'.
I had a Dad who had wisdom teeth come up. I also have a small mouth and my regular adult teeth were crowded. I had one upper tooth not able to come straignt down as there was no room so it came out sideways in the roof of my mouth. It was this tooth I saw a Dr. about removing surgically. And since I was going in for that, I asked to have my wisdom teeth removed at the same time since I had a small mouth and knew it was highly likely since other family had the same problems as adults that it was a good idea.
I did not feel a thing as the Dr worked on me in case you wonder. They really do drug you up well and you will need someone to drive you home after as you can not drive while awake again but still under the influence of all the pain medication.
Having all removed at once, I swelled up, looking like a chipmonk or squirrel with its cheeks stuffed with nuts or something. And it was sore and tender and I had some bruises on my jaw where the Dr. had to grip hard to tug some out. But other than that, it should go okay.
