A member asked:
Dental abscess. tooth surgically extracted. completed 4 day antibiotics.how long does it take for gum not to be sore and pain to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be a week..: ... sometimes a few days more or less. It really depends on the extent of the infection, the amount of swelling, the difficulty of the extraction, and your pain tolerance. All extractions are not the same.
