Around the 7-10 day mark, most of the pain should be gone. You’ll still feel some tenderness when you yawn or chew on that side, but it’s more of an “annoying eye twitch” level than a “call the dentist at 3 AM” level. If you had stitches, they might be dissolving or falling out, which feels super weird but is a good sign.
Of course, if your teeth were impacted or especially rebellious, you might need an extra week to feel 100%. That’s okay—your mouth is a delicate little drama queen. Give it a standing ovation (quietly, without moving your jaw) for getting this far.
