I had the opposite problem: they were still very low down when they started impacting the other teeth, and as a result they were still rooted in the cranial nerve. I had to wait longer for them to grow out further and impact even harder before I could get them taken out without high risk of facial paralysis. As it was I still lost feeling in one half of my tongue.
It was worse in the beginning, now it is more like the front-left 1/3 is numb. No, I don't really bite it. It made speaking in the beginning difficult, but I've learned how to work around it.
