Normally, how long would the pain from wisdom tooth extraction usually last?

1 to 14 days: Can't predict the extent or length of pain since every extraction is different and everyone has a different tolerance to pain.

Varies: A few days to a few weeks. Depends on your personal make-up and the difficulty of the procedure. Days 2-3 often the worst, with gradually diminishing discomfort after that. If your experience is anything other than this, call your oral surgeon.
