You can speak normally after 2-4 hours of extraction if it is atraumatic extraction
If it is a traumatic extraction that has sutures as well it may take upto 24 hrs
You can start warm salt water rinses after 24 hrs of extraction in any case. *Never before that*
*Do not spit for first 24 hrs for a good painless healing.*

For first 24 hours after tooth extraction, do not spit,rinse or have anything hot food.
Better to have soft/semi solid food.
Normally pain subsides in 3-5 days.
Complete healing takes around 4-5 weeks.
