Week: Depending on the severity of the extractions, whether they were impacted or not, and your health (are you a smoker/diabetic) your discomfort should last about a week. Hard to say online.

Depends.: Depending on the position of the teeth (visible or impacted) and what other tissues were involved in the surgery and how many stitches there are, the recovery period can be a couple of days or take up to 2 weeks normally.

Varies: This varies quite a bit from individual to individual and depends mostly on the position and condition of the wisdom teeth, along with the difficulty of the removal. The teeth may require simple extractions or be severely impacted. I have had patients just take an advil (ibuprofen) once and be fine, while others have had significant pain for a few days and not completely comfortable for a week or more.

Not long: Pain should not last more than a few days, with some discomfort/soreness past that up to a week or two. If you are having true pain, you should have the area re-evaluated by the surgeon or dentist.

Depends: If they were fully erupted teeth and easily removed - probably a few days (or less) or if they were deeply impacted ( underneath the gum and within the jaw bone) and took a considerable amount of time to remove, then probably a few weeks. Your exact healing time being totally free of any pain will probably fall between those 2 extremes. See drawing.

Depends: This could be a few days or several...If they were impacted then its going to take longer then if the teeth were very easy to extract. Usually the more difficult the extraction, the longer it will hurt...This will also depend upon your health the healthier you are the faster you heal. The homeopathic remedy traumeel liquid 6 drops 4x/day a day will help healing.
