The recovery period for a tooth extraction will vary depending on the individual and the type of extraction. For a simple extraction, where the tooth is visible above the gum line, recovery may take only a few days. For a more complicated extraction, such as a wisdom tooth extraction, recovery may take up to a week or longer. It is important to follow your dentist or oral surgeon's instructions for proper post-operative care to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. This may include avoiding solid foods, using an ice pack to reduce swelling, and taking pain medication as prescribed. A tooth extraction is a dental treatment that removes your tooth fully from its socket. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online!
