Hi CmacLeod3,

The post operative recovery time after a wisdom tooth removal depends on several factors but generally the surgical area feels sore for a few days, there may be some temporary swelling and bruising of the face, temporary limited jaw opening due to inflammation and you would be on a soft diet for about 2 weeks. Some people take prescribed pain medication for the first day or two, other people do fine on tylenol or advil. Some people do fine on homeopathic remedies such as Arnica Montana.

The best post operative care you could give yourself is to be prepared ahead of time with a simple but nutritious meal plan so that you do not go without eating or drinking. It is imperative to follow the surgeons post operative recommendations for proper healing.

Hope this info helps =)
