If the removal required the extraction of a larger tooth or a tooth with more than a single root, the healing time will be slightly longer. A larger, multiple-rooted tooth extraction hole will heal around the third week. One thing that should be noted is that the hole may still feel prominent for a few months after the procedure.
The wisdom tooth is an impacted tooth, so the healing time of this hole will always be slightly longer. The wisdom tooth extraction also means your jawbone has to heal as well. Healing time after the removal of an impacted tooth is generally around six weeks.

To help reduce swelling from a tooth extraction anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen usually help. If you have TMJ soreness or limited opening that lasts longer than two weeks contact your dentist or oral surgeon to check in with them. Dry socket is a condition that occurs following tooth removal. The technical term we call a dry socket is called alveolar osteitus.
If you see that term about tooth extractions, it means the same. After a tooth extraction, a blood clot forms over the top of the extraction site to protect it during healing. Sometimes, before the socket heals, the blood clot is dislodged.
An extraction site, without a blood clot, temporally disrupts healing. It exposes the sensitive gum and bone tissue to air, foods, and foreign objects, which can lead to pain or sensitivity. It also makes the site prone to infection. People who use tobacco, drink carbonated beverages, chew using the treated area too soon, brush the treatment area, and those who take certain medications are at increased risk for dry socket following tooth removal.
When a tooth is removed, there is a space left where the tooth was. The remaining hole is only temporary. A dry socket has to do with the temporary hole left, specifically with how it is healing.
A dry socket is a common complication that can happen after a tooth extraction. When the blood clot is lost too early before the hole can close, thats a dry socket. When it happens the healing slows and the site feels painful, sensitive, and sometimes swells.
A dry socket is relatively common. The treatments for dry sockets are routine and effective. Many patients with dry socket choose to manage their symptoms at home. In most cases, a dry socket will heal on its own.
