Mine was a long 3 weeks. I was on Lortab for the pain. My main issue was not being able to eat solid foods very well. It hurt like hell, and I like to eat.On average does anyone know how long it will take for the pain to stop, and the healing to ensue. Obviously everyone is different and will heal at a different rate, and there are numerous factors involved, but just a ball park figure, a week two weeks?? Left side of my mouth feels normal, but right side hurts like crazy.
