How long does it take for the swelling in your face to go down after wisdom tooth extraction?

The swelling of the face after wisdom tooth extraction usually goes down in about 2 to 3 days, in the case of large trauma, the swelling goes down in about 7 days, and in the case of poor resistance, it may take about 10 to 15 days to go down, so it is recommended to have the tooth extracted in a regular hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions. If the wisdom tooth extraction process goes smoothly and causes little trauma, the swelling and pain of the extraction wound is usually not obvious, and it usually takes about 2 to 3 days for the swelling to go down. If the removal of wisdom teeth is more traumatic, requires bone removal, or if there is a localized infection after the procedure, it may take about 7 days for the swelling to subside. If you have poor body resistance and do not follow the doctor’s instructions, do not avoid food or do not have prophylactic anti-infection treatment after surgery, it may take 10 to 15 days for the swelling to go down. You should go to a regular hospital in time.
