Hello there.
If the adenoids are causing problems like breathing discomfort, its better to get them removed.
Adenoids are just a lymphatic tissue. We can live perfectly fine without adenoids.
They have very less or even no significant use in us.
So I suggest better to get it removed and then proceed with the dental procedures.
