It depends : Teeth can be positioned in several places. Some are erupted, some are very impacted in bone. The more bone trimming needs to be done to remove them, the more tender it will be. Everyone had a different experience. The first few days are the worse, after one week life should feel normal again...

Varies: It depends on a few things. Do you have any health issues such as chronic back pain (on narcotic pain meds chronically), how smooth the surgery goes (complications), type of pain medicines prescribed and your threshold level for pain. Usually patients may have discomfort for a few days. Most recover very quickly and do great. Good luck!

Wisdom tooth surgery: The appropriate anesthesia for your surgery is the key for success. It depends on the complexity of the wisdom tooth extraction(s) and your own comfort level. After the surgery you will receive instruction and medication for speedy recovery and healing. Rec.: choose an experience dentist or an oral surgeon for this task.
