All four of my wisdom teeth were extracted yesterday afternoon. Dentist did it in the chair and sent me home. Last night, the swelling wasn't too bad, and a couple of pain pills did the trick. Today, however, the swelling is quite significant and the pain doesn't seem to be lessened any at all. How long before I can expect the swelling to let up? Thanks

I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out e few weeks ago! It didint hurt right away but the next day i was also swollen and soar, it will take a few days to go down no worries its normal, id say after 5-6 days call your doc, and use ice packs they help tremendously!

It could be a couple days but one thing that you can try to help with some of the swelling is to apply an ice pack to the areas throughout the day.
I would recommend getting back in touch with your dentist as well to see what they suggest for further help with the swelling.
