I had a single wisdom tooth removed in August this year, together with a normal, but decayed tooth next to it. After a general anaesthetic, it took about 3 to 4 weeks for the gum to settle down and for my eating to get totally back to normal. At about the 8 week point I found I had a tiny piece of bone protruding from the gum, but this came out by itself a couple of weeks later. I'm aged 62, by the way.

I just got all my teeth pulled about 2 weeks ago and I still can't eat anything but soft foods.

My dentist said that it takes 2-4 weeks depending on if the extractions are simple or complex. Most of my gums are pretty much healed besides where I had complex extractions done.

it depends how premature or how ready it is to be pulled out. if it is extremely lose and theres only one thred of skin still hanging on then it will not as bleed as much but if you have about one whole side of it was hanging and you pulled it out it will bleed way more. but if you lose your tooth in a piece of food you are mostly likely not to notice and it wont bleed as much also.

hope this helped :)

It depends on your age, sex and general health. Normally, about 72 hours.

One method used is to apply a tea-bag to the surgical site to help it heal. Why?

Because tea contains tanic acid, which helps shrink and heal the gum area where the tooth was pulled.

Do not use a "hot" tea bag --- lukewarm is fine. Just bite on it as you would if it were gauze and hold it for awhile. I think that will help (advice from my periodontist).

Regards and best of luck.

The time it would take for gums to heal after three teeth are removed would depend on the health of the patient; normally it takes 10 days.
