Usually 24-48 hrs: You would want to stick to a light soft diet for at least 24-48 hours. Then, depending on how you feel, you can resume normal eating. If the extraction was difficult it may take a few more days with the lighter diet.

In a week: It usually takes a week for the socket that the wisdom tooth was at to heal and close completely in normal not infected or inflamed conditions . The socket fill up with blood that coagulate(clots) and turn into bone later and it heals from the bottom up tel it becomes flat with the gums.
