It depends: The extraction site may ache for a week or so but the pain should diminish progressively if you have other teeth in the same side with cavities or broken ones they may hurt until they are fixed. Please talk to your dentist.

Wisdom tooth pain: Yes, but your dentist should have given you pain meds to help manage this pain. Some people are fine in a few days after surgery, some take weeks to get normal. If you have any questions, I would follow up with your dentist/surgeon. You may be experiencing normal post operative pain or you might be having a dry socket or infection. If you are only a few days out it is probably normal post op pain

It is "normal": The removal of impacted teeth is a serious surgical procedure and post surgery pain in some cases, may last up to 7 - 14 days before completely subsiding. Take NSAID or Tylenol (acetaminophen) OTC.

Yes: Yes. Wisdom tooth removal significant procedure. Do you mean pain in other teeth? Teeth next to wisdom teeth sometimes sore for awhile. All symptoms shoudl subside within 3-5 days. If longer, you may have dry socket. See oral surgeon for guidance. For best results with wisdom teeth, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
