Hello After wisdom tooth extraction mild pain will be there for upto a week. Take your medications that has been prescribed.Do warm salt water mouth rinses twice - thrice a day. The extraction site can take up 4 weeks to heal. Visit your dentist to check for dry socket and get treated if diagnosed with the same.
Next Steps
visit your dentist if the pain becomes unbearable or is not responding to the medication. If interested you can Practo contact us. Regards

Wisdom tooth extracted may be done by surgery so it is an open wound. It requires around 10 days for wound closure and bone healing to start. Take analgesic prescribed by your dentist and don’t apply hot formentation. Instead apply ice pack from outside

Hi Usual tooth extraction will have slight pain for a week . For wisdom tooth since it's a open method of extraction you will feel quite difficult . Take pain killer if required . Rinse your mouth with rock salt water . Don't allow food to stay there . Wound closure will take atleast 30 days .
