How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?
I plan on having two wisdom teeth removed in the next couple of days, how much time do I need off from work?

2/3 days to 2/3 weeks
It depends greatly from person to person and what type of extraction you had. If you had a surgical extraction it will take a few days to a week to feel better unless you get any complications. If you had a simple extraction you should be good the next day. You may have soreness but not pain.
At least one week
It depends on whether they are impacted. It could take a weekend or a week.
This all depends on your body. I've seen some teenagers recover in a matter of 1-2 weeks, while others can take up to 6 weeks. Make sure you are consuming nutritious foods that will help with healing.
