Bhai, wisdom tooth extraction ka pain... depends on how difficult your extraction was. For simple ones, maybe 2-3 days discomfort. Complicated ones, especially if stitches are there, can be a week or more. Keep taking your meds and follow what the dentist said, don't miss that.

Post-wisdom tooth extraction pain varies significantly from person to person and depending on the complexity of the procedure. Typically, discomfort and mild pain might last for 3-7 days, gradually subsiding. Swelling can also be present for a few days. It's crucial to adhere to your dentist's post-operative instructions for pain management and faster recovery.

Please, please don't ignore pain after a wisdom tooth extraction. My brother thought his prolonged pain was normal and it turned out to be a dry socket, which was really bad. General pain for a few days is okay, but if it's severe or lasts too long, just call your dentist. Better safe than sorry!

Oh, wisdom tooth pain... it can be tricky. My cousin just got hers out and it was painful for almost a week, but after that, it got much better. Make sure you take all the prescribed pain meds. Also, factor in the cost of follow-up visits when you planned the extraction, sometimes there are hidden charges, so keep that in mind.
