Is it possible to go back to work the day after having my wisdom teeth pulled?

No: You are still under the effect of anesthetic agent and likely on a narcotic for pain.

Yes, it is possible: Depending upon the severity of the impactions, and the number of wisdom teeth removed, it is possible to go to work the next day as long as you are careful to avoid strenuous activity, and you follow the recommended precautions to promote healing of the extraction sites.
