1. Wisdom Teeth Removal Recovery Time
Although wisdom teeth removal is the most
common dental surgery and takes minimum of two
weeks for complete recovery,

the wound will not heal healthily unless proper
care is taken. Some surgeries will also involve
stitches and thus is imperative to be watchful.

During the initial 24 hours blood clots will
form, which is obvious after any surgery. In the
next 2 3 days swelling of the cheeks and mouth
will deduce.

If stitches were involved, now, after a week it
will be good to remove. Within 8-10 days jaw pain
and stiffness should disappear. After two week,
everything will be back to normal. 
10
This is the general recovery time, which may get
elongated if due to negligence the wound gets
infected.

Blood clots will form once the teeth are removed
and this is essential because clotting in itself
is a healing process.

safeguards the exposed area from infections and
allows fresh tissues to grow.

  alcohols should be avoided

  surgery area
• If any pain or discomfort is felt, the prescribed
  pain killer should be taken
• Restricting all activities and taking rest, at

Once 24 hours is over, rinsing the mouth with
antiseptic, several times a day and especially
