Wisdom tooth surgery is nothing, really. If you have to get it done, I recommend asking to have all four teeth taken out, save you some time later. I had to have that done, seeing as only one tooth actually broke the gum surface and the other three were tooth fragments just lurking in my gum. They put me under, I woke up, had damn good drugs for a few days (apparently when I wasn't sleeping I was singing my favourite Japanese songs cheerfully), ate lots of popsicles and pudding, and was back at work that Tuesday after having had the surgery Friday. Some people make it out to be a big deal, but it's really not. *hug*
I forgot to add that after the fact I didn't find the aftermath all that bad. I was up and doing stuff the same night that I had them pulled and I had all 4 done at once as well.
p.s. if the dentist wants to do it while your awake request laughing gas, it is awsome! that stuff makes you feel all the good parts of being drunk only without the hangover. a couple of breaths of regular air and you sober up in a snap, and the aftermath pain killers are also pretty sweet.

I heart Craig and Steve. Even if they have a terrible profession.
LOVE YOU!

Dentists are evil (thus proven by the Friday the 13th appt).
At least once it's done, it's over :)
