How much pain can you experience from a wisdom teeth extraction?

Really depends: Unfortunately sometimes this is best answered after the tooth is extracted because on then does the dentist know the degree of difficulty the removal of the tooth required. I have some where the patients haven't experience much pain at all and sometime some that have been uncomfortable for 3-4 days. But without healing complications that is generally the extent of it.

Not much: Normally, wisdom extraction will give you a lot of discomfort the first day and second day and starting 3rd day, you will feel much better. However, it really is case by case. If you have infection before extraction, you might feel more discomfort.

Depends on : How much manipulation and instrumentation was required during the tooth removal. Usually the discomfort is associated to the inflammation of the tissues. Some removals require removal of bone around the retained tooth. Prescription analgesics should be enough to control the pain.
