How long will recovery time be for tooth extraction?



I have 3 extra teeth growing in my lower gum, beneath the ones that are normally present. My orthodontist believes that I will require surgery to extract these teeth; preventing them from obstructing any of the normal ones. How long do you think it will take to convalesce from this surgery?

  1. 3-5 days and if you have stitches, they should dissolve
    7-10 days after
    Some people recover in 2 days.

    I had 2 supernumerary impacted teeth in my pallet above
    my two front teeth floating there and they were taken out
    along with 4 pre molars and 4 wisdom teeth (10 altogether.)
    And I stopped bleeding 48 hours after, felt fine less than
    24 hours after and the swelling was gone 5 days after but
    it took about a week and a bit for me to sound normal
    again. You should heal fine.

  2. youll be fine in a few days, just keep a gauze on it the 1st day. after the 1st day gargle warm water and salt to keep it clean

  3. The first three days are usually the worst. The average time is usually two weeks, but most people find it tolerable after day 3.
