An average of 5 days of medical leave is provided in Singapore. However, your actual recovery time depends on factors like:
1. Your response to surgery
2. Age
3. The extent of surgery (depends on the depth and orientation of the wisdom tooth)
4. Rest
5. Medication
6. Hygiene
Maximum rest is recommended for at least the first 2–3 days. You should avoid any strenuous activity and follow the medication prescription schedule closely. Also, do your best to keep the site clean. Otherwise, poor hygiene, as well as using alcohol and tobacco, can slow down healing.
