Wisdom Teeth Removal (Extraction) – 10 Facts to Know

Long-Term Recovery

It takes around 3 to 4 days for most people to recover fully from wisdom teeth removal. In some cases when the teeth develop in awkward directions, you might need more than a week. However, the wound after the procedure will not be healed completely in a few months. This would increase the risk of infection. Thus, make sure to be careful and notice any signs of bleeding or pain. Avoid smoking and intense physical activities as they would trigger blood clots and dislodge stitches.[5]
