Can you tell me how long to recover from wisdom tooth removal?

1 to 14 days: Very wide range of healing times since every patient and every extraction is different. Most patients won't be that uncomfortable after a few days.

Up to two weeks: It can take up to two weeks to fully recover after wisdom tooth surgery. However, pain, infection and swelling can be minimized if the instructions are followed carefully.
