That sounds painful.
I have some form of hyperdontia myself. 2 teeth jutting up under my tongue, one on each side. The dentist said that they can't pull them because of the way that they are rooted. They're not in sockets, but seem to be a permanent extension of my jaw bone.
The first one didn't show itself until I was almost 20, then the second one revealed itself a few years later. They started as little bumps under the skin, then broke through [which was quite painful], then just kept growing. They are now larger than all of my other teeth. It's the damndest thing.
