How Long Does Wisdom Teeth Pain Last After Removal

In general, the pain and discomfort following wisdom teeth removal can last for a few days up to a couple of weeks. The duration of the pain can vary from person to person depending on the complexity of the procedure, your pain tolerance, and how well you take care of yourself during the recovery period.

You can expect the pain to be at its worst during the first three to four days after the extraction. During this time, you may experience swelling, discomfort, and difficulty eating or speaking. After that, the pain should gradually subside, and you’ll start feeling more like yourself again.
