You have nothing to fear.
I had all 4 of my wisdoms removed at once. I opted for general anesthesia. One minute you're counting down from 10 and the next minute you wake up with your mouth stuffed with swabs and trying to stand up straight. You'll need a family member/friend (or a trustworthy taxi driver) to get you home following the procedure. There was a little discomfort after the anesthesia completely wore off, but all I needed was an over the counter aspirin to get through it. I only missed a total of 2 days of work and school (including the day of the operation).
