3-5 days: Let the deep pit left by your extracted tooth heal....it takes upto one week. But the healing begins within 24 hours and is complete in 5-7 days.

3-4 days: It is recommended not to drink from a straw for 3-4 days after a tooth extraction because that is the peak time when a dry socket can occur.
