Which day after extraction tends to be the worst for discomfort?

Many patients find that Day 2 or Day 3 after removal is the most painful, when swelling and inflammation peak.

What warning signs should prompt me to call my dentist?

If pain or bleeding increases after Day 4, or you notice a bad taste, foul odor, or exposed bone, it may signal a complication like dry socket.

What after‐care steps help reduce the worst day of pain?

Rest with head elevated, apply cold packs during early hours, eat soft foods, avoid straws and smoking, all support smoother recovery.

How long does it take for pain and swelling to significantly improve?

Typically, you’ll see marked improvement after Day 3 or Day 4 as the initial healing phase ends.

Can I exercise or return to work on the worst day?

It’s best to avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, or busy schedules until you’re past the peak pain and able to rest appropriately.
