How long does the pain last after wisdom teeth extraction?

I had my wisdom teeth extracted a couple of days ago, and the pain is still quite significant. I'm wondering, how long does the pain usually last after wisdom teeth extraction?

The pain is manageable with medication for a few days. Don't forget to factor in the cost of painkillers and soft foods while planning your budget for the procedure. Recovery also means some days off work, which can affect earnings.

I had my wisdom tooth out too. For me, the pain was mostly for 3-4 days, then just a dull ache. Gentle breathing exercises and trying to stay relaxed actually helped a bit with the overall discomfort, not just the tooth pain. Of course, follow all dentist's advice.

This too shall pass. Stay calm and positive. The initial days might be uncomfortable, but with care and rest, you will heal. Trust in your body's ability to recover. Hope you feel better soon.

Wisdom tooth pain can be quite something! Make sure you're resting properly and avoiding anything that raises your blood pressure, like straining. If you have any underlying conditions like BP, keep an eye on it during recovery and mention to your dentist. Don't skip your meds.

Haan, extraction ka pain thoda rehta hai. First 2-3 days are usually bad, phir it gets better. Medicines se manage ho jaata hai. Na, don't worry too much, just follow what the dentist says, like soft food.
