I recently had my wisdom tooth extracted and I’m worried about how long it will take for me to fully recover. I want to know when I can return to my normal diet and daily activities without discomfort. Are there any signs I should watch out for that could delay healing?

Recovery after wisdom tooth surgery typically takes about 7 to 10 days for the initial healing, though complete healing of the gum and bone can take a few weeks. At Ashford Dental Centre, our team advises patients to rest, follow prescribed medications and avoid hard or chewy foods during this period. If you experience excessive swelling, severe pain or prolonged bleeding, you should contact us immediately for further assessment.
