Wisdom?

I had a toothache on Sunday, and it was bad enough to call the doctor and make an appointment. I went in this morning, thinking I needed a root canal or a full set of dentures, but my top right wisdom tooth was pushing my other together, causing the pain. The doctor took it out four hours ago, without one bit of pain. However, the pain I feel now is worse than the original toothache on Sunday, and I'm just not seeing the wisdom of all of this right before Christmas!
