How can some people be painless after getting wisdom teeth taken out and go back to work the next day?

One of the girls I know from work she had her wisdom tooth taken out last month and then the next day, she came back to work. Wow she is tough. She felt NO pain. She wasn’t supposed to be doing a lot of moving around but she ended up doing it anyways because the kids are active but she didn’t do much as she said. She ran after a kid because he ran out the classroom. She shouldn’t have done that. She was supposed to take it easy. The next morning, she was in pain so she took off the rest of the week (Thursday and Friday). She should have stayed home to begin with.

I've started feeling pain from a wisdom tooth that recently emerged. It's only partially visible and is impacted by another tooth. I can't wait to get it out and can't see there being much pain after the procedure...pain is what it feels like to have a tooth that's trying to come through but can't.

Some people's wisdom teeth are already erupted and don't require surgery but only a simple extraction while others have impacted teeth, still under the gum, that require surgery and a lot of work to remove.

I had all mine done in one go. I didn't feel any pain after the procedure.
