Possible: Pain from this surgery can last over a week, and each person has different pain tolerances. Follow-up with your dental surgeon to be safe and for continuity of care. Best wishes.

Are you flossing: While everyone heals differently, pain from wisdom teeth extractions should be subsiding after a week. The primary culprit, in an otherwise healthy person, is a high oral bacteria count. If people don't floss on a daily basis their mouths are chronically infected. And... An open boney socket becomes a cesspool that won't heal. Floss daily and have your oral surgeon treat your dry sockets!

Return: A week is a long time not to feel relief. Please return to the dentist or oral surgeon for review and relief.
