Typically within 2-3 days, but that depends on the tooth position, degree of impaction and difficulty of the surgery

It depends on the difficulty of the extraction. Three to four days to a week.

Every patient recovers differently. Most times OTC pain pills are sufficient to make recovery comfortable.
