About two weeks: Wisdom tooth extraction is usually not as complicated as you might think. If the wisdom teeth are already erupted (meaning you can see them in your mouth), they should be easy to extract and recovery time will be one to two weeks. If impacted, the procedure is a little more complicated and complete recovery might take a little longer. In either case, you should feel just fine in a two or so weeks.

Varies: Recovery from the removal of wisdom teeth may be related to the age of the patient, the position of the wisdom teeth and level of difficulty in their removal, the type of anesthesia utilized, as well as the skill level of the surgeon and technique used. The most important variable is the patient and how he or she follows instructions and that individual's perception of pain and pain threshold.
