How long does it take to recover from pain after tooth extraction

The time of pain after tooth extraction varies because each person has different physical constitution, different physical recovery ability and different size of tooth extraction wound. Generally speaking, if the extraction wound is small and you are in good health, the pain will gradually improve in about 1-2 days after the extraction. If the root of the extracted tooth is thick, the extraction wound is large and the health condition is poor, the pain may be about 3-5 days. After tooth extraction, you can take appropriate anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs according to your own condition, which can help reduce the discomfort. In addition, patients should pay attention to a light diet after tooth extraction, do not eat spicy and stimulating food, and do not eat food that is too hot or too hard to avoid stimulating the wound and affecting the healing.
