A member asked:
4 days ago i got a top tooth removed. i'm wondering how long does it take for the hole to heal? and how soon can i eat on that side of my mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1-3 weeks: Depends on a number of factors. Likely 1-3 weeks. You can chew on that side as soon as there is no pain with chewing.
