Wisdom tooth: It can last up to a week, but if the pain increases go back to your dentist, you may have an infection or dry socket.

Variable: Depends on the degree of difficulty of the extraction. Usually 3-5 days. Longer if you develop a dry socket. See the wisdom tooth expert - oral & maxillfacial surgeon.
