I'm 29, had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled last year at same time. Im also a puss about dental work, but honestly it wasn't that bad. The anxiety I put myself through was much worse than the procedure itself. Last thing I remember the doc pulled the tape off my arm and apologized because of the hair on my arms, I said the tape is the last thing I'm worried about and she said that's the worst part. Then I was out and woke up without wisdom teeth. Slept a few hours and was up watching the masters that afternoon, the soreness is the worst part, just keep popping the vicoden and you'll be fine.....GL man, don't stress yourself out about it too much
