• How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

I'm 25 years old, and I plan on having two teeth removed in the next couple of days. How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

It depends on the degree of impaction, and the individual patient, but typically within 3-4 days

Varies from person to person. For the pain and swelling to resolve may take 1-7 days depending if bone had to be removed. It will take several months for the holes to disappear.

Recovery following wisdom tooth removal is largely related to the degree of difficulty encountered and the invasiveness of the surgery; those who require less to remove the wisdom teeth will generally recover more quickly than those who have deeply impacted wisdom teeth. Overall, days 2-4 tend to be the worst timeframe for symptoms following wisdom tooth removal...
