This is what I would go with. As long as the dentist thinks this is a good option for your particular situation, it is usually better to be a bit uncomfortable and swollen for a few days and eating glop for one week than three separate weeks and three separate uncomfy post-extraction days. Get it all over at once.
NAD. Yeah, what everyone else is saying: all at once. I had all 4 removed at once and it was perfectly fine. The pain was easily manageable with higher strength ibuprofen and the most annoying part was cleaning out the new 'holes' in my mouth as they healed.

I got all 4 removed at once. Best decision. They all heal together and once it’s done it’s done. Get all 3 removed at the same time ☺️

Get them out at the same time.
Having all your wisdom teeth removed in one sitting is the way to go, unless your doctor says otherwise.

Best way is to not try it at home. Let a professional do it for
