Hi if it's a wisdom teeth it will take more time to heal then rest of your teeth. Normally you have to take soft and room temperature diet for 24 hours. After that you can have normal diet. If it's normal extraction. But if it's surgical extraction soft or semi solid diet for 48 hours No rinsing n spitting for 24 hours Warm saline rinses after 24 hours Don't avoid brushing next day after extraction Patient feels much better after 2-3 days of extraction

For soft tissue healing it takes 3-7 days , and it takes  about 2-3 months for bone to form , but you have to take care of soft tissue healing only ,as once the wound is closed by soft tissue then you don't have to bother about it. Bone will definitely form after that. Precautions- 1. Remove the gauge pack placed by doctor after 30-45 mins with a clean hand. Don't try to spit it out. 2. Have ice cream(without nuts) or cold juice after removing gauge, if little bit of bleeding is there have ice cream every 10 minutes until it stops. Consult doctor if it continues for longer duration. 3. Do not spit for at least 24 hours after extraction. If you will spit, it is going to disturb the blood clot and might result in wound infection. 4. Have soft and cold food for first 24 hours. 5. After 24 hours of extraction, Do warm saline rinses 4-5 times a day for 3-5 days. 6.take medicine as prescribed by doctor. 7. Do not smoke or drink, until wound is healed. 8. Don't use straw to drink. 9. Keep your wound clean.

Healing process also depends on patients body response.healing of gums will take 3-4 weeks.but  socket of your tooth will take around 5-6 months.pain post extraction pain will subside in a week time.also post extraction complications do alter healing such as infection,dry socket. Precautions:- not to spit ,blow forcefully Don't keep touching wound with tongue or fingers,don't put pressure on wound, Avoid hot spicy food atleast 48 hours,don't brush forcefully and better if do it after 24 hours ,start warm saline rinses after 24 hours 3-4 times a day Eat light food(kept at room temperature).And medicine prescribed by your dentist.
