Check back: The amount of swelling after wisdom teeth extraction depends on how extensive or complicated the surgery was. Sutures are placed to help with healing and they are removed or are resolved within one week or so. If tenderness or swelling persists please go in for a check back with your surgeon

See oral surgeon: By 2 weeks, most if not all symptoms should be gone. There may be a problem. See oral surgeon just to make sure.
