Answer:
To answer your question, if there are no problems with healing (like dry socket, in particular) it usually takes a week to feel pretty much comfortable and three weeks to feel all the way back to normal.

Of course it hurts... you can get good drugs though.

About a week. Really only a few days but you may have some sore spots after for about a week. If they give you gas and you have a good dentist the only thing that might hurt a little is the needle ( to deaden the area). After they usually give you a script of pain pills-you will be okay.

Everyone has a different healing time depending on their overall health, as well as a different level of pain tolerance. When I had my wisdom teeth out (and I was knocked out for the procedure), I couldn't consume anything but water the first day. The pain lasted me 2 to 3 days, but after the first day it was more of a dull throbbing. They gave me Vicodin for the pain, but I only needed it the first day. Some things you eat or drink will cause pain in the area until it is fully closed and the stitches (if any) are removed or dissolved. You will want to avoid carbonated or acidic beverages (soda, lemonade, juices, etc.), also hot liquids which will bring blood to the area and cause worse throbbing and possibly bleeding. You won't be allowed to use a straw or smoke (but you shouldn't be smoking anyway!) for the first several days because the suction created in the mouth by doing these things risks loosening the clot in the wound and making it bleed, taking longer to heal. If you follow your doctor's instructions, you will be back to normal I'd say within 5 to 7 days.

Well, I had alot of teeth pulled. I wore braces and in order to wear the braces, i needed to get about 6 teeth pulled. Don't worry, pulling a teeth does not hurt because they freeze it.... i guess u know that.... the earliest that a teeth will heal is in about 3 days.... it depends on how deep the teeth was in your gums.... and it also depends on how sensitive ur teeth are...if ur teeth bleed alot then it will take time to heal....so a earliest time it takes to heal is about 3 days.... thats how long my teeht took

It doesn't hurt that bad and you will be given pain medication before and after having your teeth pulled. It takes about a month or so to heal. If you had it the first week in August, by the time school started you would feel fine.

I had a tooth pulled last year. And, mind you, I am totally freaked out and terrified of the dentist. I hadn't been in years but I had to go b/c I had an infection in one tooth and it was HURTING BAD! It wasn't as bad as I thought. I won't tell you all the bad things b/c then you'll worry about it, but the good thing is, it only takes about 30 minutes for the whole thing. (That includes waiting about 20 minutes for the shots to numb you) Afterwards, they give you a list of all the things you can't do within the next 48 hours. (No spitting, no smoking, no drinking through a straw, etc.) It will bleed for about two days, and will really hurt. (when you get back from getting it pulled, fill your prescription while your mouth is still numb, and take it when you get home, even if you don't feel any pain) I was numb so I didnt' take the medicine, then I fell asleep. When I woke up, the pain was so unbearable I was pacing the hallway back and forth b/c I couldn't sit still it was hurting so bad. SO TAKE THE MEDICINE B4 IT STARTS HURTING. But overall, it healed totally in about two weeks.

Well it all depends on the dentist. And I wouldn't suggest going under anesthia. It actually makes things feel much much worse afterward, not to mention the horrible mental state it leaves you in. I have a deathly fear of going to the dentist and I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled last year ( 3 of them, all of which were impacted) I just got novocaine and yeah it a little weird to feel the pressure when they pull the tooth, but not painful. Surprisingly the whole procedure was done in 10 mins and I healed within a week. You just have to be careful not to use a straw or suck on anything for the first couple of days.

Yes, it hurts. You'll get pain meds to take at home for it. Healing takes approx 10 days.
