Hello everyone,

I had a premolar taken out yesterday and i just wanted to ask in this really short question how long it normally takes to heal
 
Hello,

I had one taken out 4 days ago. Still in abit of pain.

'Good luck
 
It depends on a number of factors. The main one being if there was an infection present & how bad the infection was, that can lengthen the time you experience discomfort.

If there was no or only residual infection after antibiotics, In terms of healing time, after 3/4 days the discomfort should ease, 12 weeks you should be expecting the socket to have healed adequately.
 
It took me about a week I think. Then it slowly got better. 4 days I was still in rough shape. It healed fine. Hope that helps :)
