Depends: My patients usually need 800 mg Motrin 3x/day for three days. After that they are moderately stiff from the swelling but no pain. If they follow all the pre and post op instructions they are back in the world on monday after a thurs surgery with no swelling, bruising, pain...

Varies: Pain can vary. It depends partly on how difficult it was to remove the tooth. It also depends on your pain tolerance. It can vary from no pain to pain for several weeks. A dentist will give you proper medication to relieve the pain.
