“How long does it take for jaw pain to go away after surgery?”
I am a 27 year old female. I want to know how long does it take for jaw pain to go away after surgery?

Generally, jaw pain is better in 5-10 days. If it lasts longer than that or becomes more severe instead of subsiding each day, you may have a dry socket - a condition that needs treatment for quick resolution.

Ask your surgeon what to expect. Your particular surgery will determine the expected healing time.
