How long does the pain last for wisdom extractions?

Varies: This varies quite a bit depending upon the difficulty of the extraction as well as your own pain threshold. Some patients take one otc pain pill and are fine, while others require prescription pain killers for a day or two and then otc pain medication is sufficient after that. Usually the first 24 hours is the worst period. Some soreness or discomfort may last up to about a week.

Wisdom tooth pain: It depends. If you are not infected with a topical bone infection about 3-4days. If your teeth extracted were under the bone then longer. If your wisdom teeth were very mis-aligned sideways then longer. If you should get a very rotten sweet odor in your mouth, then you have a topical bone infection. See the doc, they'll fix it right up. In spite of every thing you' heal up okay , you will be fine.

2-7 days: Depends on the degree of impaction. Usually 2-3 days up to 7 days. The prescribed pain meds work well. If you get a dry socket, the pain can be extended a few days. Best treatment of wisdom teeth is by an oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
