Answer 1

I had four of my wisdom teeth pulled two weeks ago, and it took about a week for all my stitches to fall out. Now during the second week, I can eat solid foods and I'm just waiting for the holes to close up. If your doctor gave you Vicodin, take one of those along with 3 Motrins. This will keep the pain away and help with the swelling. I was lucky and did not experience any pain and did not even swell up after my surgery. Just keep on a tight schedule with your painkillers, whatever you have. By the 22nd, you should be okay. That's about a week from now.

Answer 2

A couple of days until you're comfortable.  You should be okay by the 22nd.  Good luck.

Answer 3

Answer 4
