How long does it hurt after wisdom tooth removal??

Six months, then it makes itself known periodically for another three years.

Have you taken antibiotics? Usually for 1-2 weeks.

I was in pain for about two weeks, I didn't even want to use that side.

Didn't chew*

For about two weeks, there was sharp pain. Then, it's still felt for probably another half a year. It's not that it hurts directly (i.e., it doesn't particularly bother), but you can feel that there's a wound there.

I deleted it yesterday, and it doesn't hurt today... Does yours hurt so much that it feels like your head is splitting? Mine was just aching yesterday... 2-3 weeks is a bit much.

6. It really depends on how the extraction was done and the position of the teeth.
If it was just removed like a normal tooth, it heals quickly.
In my case, they had to cut the gum because the tooth was lying sideways. It even broke and had to be taken out in pieces.
Yours, it seems, was just pulled out and that's it.

The top didn't hurt by the evening/morning after removal, but the top has been hurting for two days, and it's not the socket itself... but the jaw. The area is hard to reach, and no stitches were applied, only tightening pads.
Author, was your extraction simple or was it a problematic tooth?

Yeah, they pulled my lower wisdom tooth (tooth #8) and stitched it up, they say the lower ones are more complicated than the upper ones, I don't know. I'll remove the upper wisdom tooth later. They didn't want to remove both at the same time.

Were the roots positioned straight? Did they not fracture the periosteum?
Consult a doctor with your complaints, and be sure to get an X-ray.

I had my sixth tooth extracted, and it took a whole month to heal!!! The tooth broke, and they had to pull the roots out one by one. It took an hour to extract.

In any case, you need to see a doctor and consult so they can check how the socket is healing. If someone else had pain for a month and was fine, it doesn't mean the same will happen for you, or vice versa—if someone had pain for just a day and was okay, it doesn't necessarily mean your situation is bad. Only a doctor can give you the answer.

I had two wisdom teeth removed. Top and bottom. With a six-month gap between them. The top one hurt for a month. It was awful. The bottom one was removed, the wound ached for a day and that was it. It's different for everyone.

2-3 weeks???! I was only sick for 1.5 days. Then it just healed over. No discomfort at all. I had two teeth removed, both healed that quickly. And I didn't take any antibiotics. Why would I???

My son recently had four impacted wisdom teeth removed: two at once and then another two a week later, with stitches placed. He was in a lot of pain for about a day, but after that, he managed without painkillers. It has now been two weeks since the last surgery, and he is completely free of any discomfort.

I had my lower 8 removed. It was also positioned sideways, so they cut the gum, split the tooth in half, and removed it piece by piece. Then they stitched the gum up; it ached for a couple of days, but after a week, I had the stitches removed and everything was fine.

But I don't have any complaints actually, it didn't even hurt the next day, on the first day it just ached a little at the site. The root was straight.

About a month. But I was only on painkillers for a week, then it became tolerable. I was given antibiotics for a week, and the medication in the wound was changed three times.

At most a week. If it lasts longer, see a doctor.

Oh come on, for two weeks you can't even open your mouth at all, then it gradually gets better. The swelling is still there even after a month, just a little bit.

Never really got sick. Just whined for a couple of hours after the anesthesia and that was it.

1st time: It hurt for about 5 days, the swelling was terrible—half my face was swollen, even with a bluish tint. The tooth extraction took nearly two hours + stitches.
2nd time: There was no swelling at all, but it hurt a lot for 2 weeks; I took Ketanol. My mouth only started opening normally after a month. The tooth was removed in half an hour, no stitches.
But these were lower teeth; they say upper ones are easier.

In short, if there's no fever and no smell of decay, then it's all good. But it's better to have a doctor check it out.

By the way, on the fifth day, the pain was worse than in the first few days; the end of the first week was the peak, and then it started to ease up a bit.

I had a pretty rough wisdom tooth extraction, damn it. My jaw hurt for a long time, about a month. I don't want to scare you, but many people (including me) experience paresthesia—numbness in some part of the mouth or lips, cheeks (in my case, half of the tongue, still felt after five years, but less) because a nerve was affected.
Hang in there, it will pass. Do you have a fever?

Got mine removed a week ago, still in pain, on antibiotics. Going back to the doctor again.

Oh man. I'm about to have a tooth extraction too. Been enduring pain for 4 days, I'm scared of dentists like fire, but I can't stand this hellish pain anymore. Can't just keep taking pills constantly. And the extraction procedure itself makes me almost pass out. I'm 25 years old but such a coward...

Don't be afraid. I was also scared by the dentist back then like... well, this is such a case, we'll have to work on it for about half an hour. In the end, he dug out the tooth in 1 minute, completely painless under anesthesia. And then nothing hurt, just ice on the cheek for 1 day to prevent swelling.

I had it removed on Saturday, the removal wasn't complicated under local anesthesia, the anesthesia took longer than the removal itself, he wiggled it, removed it within 10 minutes, the root was straight. No cheek swelling, no asymmetry, the socket has almost healed, the gum is slightly swollen, no odor, but it hurts so much that I have to take Pentalgin or Ibuprofen twice a day. On Tuesday I started taking Doxycycline twice a day. It doesn't let me sleep. The young doctor who removed it checked it, seems like everything's fine. But it huuuurts! What could it be?

Too bad I read your message too late, otherwise I would've advised you not to take painkillers - the anesthesia doesn't work well afterward! They had to give me a double dose like for an elephant, and now I've had a terrible headache for two days straight.

Hey, I had my wisdom tooth removed 5 days ago, today my mouth hurts a lot, I can't open it. What can I do to make it heal quickly? The wound.

"Solcoseryl Dental" paste might help with healing. But if it hurts - it's better to go to the doctor

Same shit. For four days everything was fine, it almost went away. But by the evening of the fifth day the pain became like the bad tooth was back in place and hurting) Didn't sleep all night from the pain, even though the first few days were problem-free. Surviving on Ibuclin and Nimesulide. No fever, no smell, the blood clot in the socket is white as it should be. They say these are phantom pains that wake up on the 5th day and kickstart the healing process)

A week ago, I had a lower molar removed, but before that, I endured it for a month, afraid to go and took Ketorol. My gum still hurts, and Ketorol no longer helps, but yesterday a tooth with pulpitis started aching as well. I read all the forums and came across a strange folk remedy: place a few sugar crystals on a cigarette ash and inhale through the nostril on the side where the tooth hurts. The sensation was, of course, intense—my eyes almost popped out of their sockets—but literally within 10 minutes, the pain in both the tooth and gum disappeared. I slept all night without pills and without pain! Today, the tooth with pulpitis doesn't hurt, but the gum is hurting with renewed intensity. If it doesn't subside by evening, I'll repeat the experiment.

Good evening. I had a tooth extracted today. I was terribly scared; the anesthesia wasn't taking effect, so they gave me four injections—two before the procedure and two during. It was frightening, but fear has big eyes. I had been suffering from pain for a month. I couldn't sleep at night and was taking painkillers in horse doses. And today, I finally made the decision. They removed it. It ached for just a couple of hours after the anesthesia wore off. I feel wonderful now. Nothing is bothering me. And here they write that it hurts for as long as two weeks.

Today, I had my lower wisdom tooth removed. They said it wouldn't hurt, that the anesthesia would work, and I wouldn't feel a thing! Not true!! Half of my face went numb, even my ear, but it still hurt! The extraction took about three minutes. Now it hurts even more, and the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. I've already taken painkillers. I wanted to save the tooth and had been treating it for about a month, but nothing worked. If possible, it's better to treat your teeth rather than remove them.

Good evening. I'll tell you, there's no point in treating a wisdom tooth specifically. It's the most prone to cavities since it's in a hard-to-reach place for cleaning, and treating it specifically is a waste of money and nerves. I had my lower right wisdom tooth removed on February 26th. It was growing crooked, pressing hard against the tooth next to it. And now I don't know what to do at all. The right lower part of my jaw started hurting on the third day in the evening. The socket doesn't hurt, but it's still unpleasant to spit and I can feel there's a wound there. The doctor immediately prescribed antibiotics and another injection with lidocaine. My whole butt is blue. But I endured 7 injections over 3 days and 1 evening. And I'm worried that something's wrong.

You're just lucky or you have baby teeth

I had my wisdom tooth removed over a month ago. It was a lower one, impacted in the gum. The procedure took an hour and a half, involving cutting and drilling. It was hard to extract. I didn't take antibiotics because of breastfeeding. There was severe swelling for three days, and it hurt constantly. A foul smell started on the 7th day after the stitches were removed. I called and told the doctor, and he invited me to check it out. I went in, and he took me back to the operating room, gave me a lidocaine injection (which didn't work, and I was sobbing and twitching from the pain), and stitched me up again. He rinsed, cleaned, and closed the hole. He prescribed antibiotics. It's been a month since then. Two weeks ago, the stitch that was attached to my cheek fell out. Today, another one came off, and it bled because I touched it. My jaw has been hurting for two days, and I had to take painkillers at night. If it doesn't get better, I'll go see another doctor. I'm worried. Also, by the way, a nerve was affected. I can't feel part of my chin and lip. I'm taking vitamin B. There's been very little recovery... That sneaky tooth.

On Monday, I had my last lower wisdom tooth removed. They gave me two injections, the extraction took 45 minutes, and they used four different types of instruments. I've been taking Nimesil for three days, and the pain has lessened, but it still comes in waves, so I take painkillers once a day. I'm getting my dressing changed every four days. I can't open my mouth, so I'm only eating liquid food, and even then, only when it doesn't hurt. I'm taking antibiotics, Loratadine, and Acetol, and doing two types of heat treatments. I can feel an inflamed lymph node under my jaw. The doctor said the healing process will be long, and I trust him completely. The only comforting thing is that this was the last of the troublesome ones.

Вы знаете я тоже удалила этот зуб мудрости неделю назад ,но я до сих пор сижу на обезбололивающем...челюсть очень болит ,удаление было тяжелым .Сейчас хоть рот открыть могу ))

I have the exact same thing, had it removed a week ago, bled all day, had to apply a hemostatic sponge, nothing else helped, but damn it hurts, it's terrible like... can't take painkillers, I'm breastfeeding, don't know what to do anymore

That sounds awful, wishing you a speedy recovery. I had one of my lower ones removed the other day, and in a month they're going to remove another one that's lying horizontally in the gum. It's going to be a complicated extraction, and my doctor told me that they might need to take a clot from a vein to create a plug and put it in the wound, and from what I understand, stitch it up. He says then it heals much faster.

Yeah, I also had my wisdom tooth removed, also the last one. It took about two minutes to remove. The socket looks clean, no temperature so far, no swelling either. But my gum is tearing... maybe it's still from the injections. They gave me a lot of shots.

They placed a clot for me too. Probably during the extraction when the blood formed there. Before that, they always put antiseptic medicine in the socket after removal. But for this particular tooth, it was specifically a clot.

Six days ago, I had my last difficult wisdom tooth removed (it was impacted). It was extracted in pieces, the procedure was tough, and I got stitches. I'm taking the antibiotic Amoxiclav. There's no swelling or bad odor. My jaw hurts at the extraction site, and the neighboring teeth ache, especially at night. It also radiates to my ear and neck. I'm not taking any painkillers; I'm enduring it for now. The stitches haven't dissolved yet; they're still holding.

Previously, I had my upper wisdom teeth removed (simple ones) in just 5 minutes, and they didn't hurt at all. I also had a difficult lower wisdom tooth removed before, but that time it was somehow easier than this one.

On Monday, I had my last lower tooth removed, which was lying horizontally in the gum. It took 40 minutes to extract—they couldn't pull it out easily. Beforehand, they injected anesthesia but hit a nerve, which was painful and unpleasant; my head even jerked. The tooth was crumbling, but they managed to extract it eventually. They drew blood from both veins, but barely any came out, and it stopped quickly. They formed a clot, placed it, and stitched me up. The stitches need to be removed after June 19th, and there's this fishing line-like thread that's uncomfortable and stings a bit when I try to eat—I'm already attempting to. My gum is swollen, and one side of my face is square-shaped; by the third day, it had reduced a bit. They also rubbed the corner of my mouth so much that the skin peeled off, and it burns. Now, it's the fourth day after the extraction. I'm taking Fanigan, which relieves the pain for 6-8 hours, but the pain is intense and radiates to my head. A month ago, I had a lower tooth removed in a normal position, and everything was much easier then. Upper teeth are a breeze—just 5 minutes and it's over. Thank God, there were only four, and this was the last one. If anyone is postponing an extraction or waiting until it starts bothering them, it's better to gather your courage and get it done. All of mine were problematic but in different ways: the upper ones were decayed, one lower was impacted, and the other took three years to grow, occasionally hurting but staying in place.

I had my lower wisdom tooth removed 3 days ago.
The extraction was simple, done with forceps.
No stitches were placed, but medication was applied.
However, I'm experiencing significant pain in the adjacent teeth—a throbbing, aching pain... almost like pulpitis in all my lower teeth.
Should I be concerned? Will this pain last long?

Oh, this madness with these teeth. It's been hurting for four days on painkillers. The doctor prescribed antibiotics. Another one needs to be pulled out 😜

Of course it hurts like hell, lower wisdom tooth, removed a week ago, the pain has only gotten worse, nothing fucking helps, already taking three different painkillers at once, and even then the effect isn't complete, already having stomach problems, heartburn and pain. But what the hell else can I do, can't endure this hellish pain, I'd rather die from pills than endure it.

..don't do that or you'll end up needing a bronchoscopy too...
