Thread: How long does swelling last after teeth are pulled?

So, I just had all three of my wisdom teeth pulled, and I was wondering how long I should expect to look like Marlon Brando.

i'm surprised that your dentist didn't tell you. most swelling will go down overnight. ice packs can help if you're extremely swollen.
if swelling has not subsided in 1 or 2 days i'd say to contact your dentist.

My swelling didn't really last more than a day.
