Tooth Extraction Healing Stages Day by Day

Healing after tooth extraction happens step by step. On Day 1, a blood clot forms to protect the area. This is very important for proper healing.

By Day 2–3, swelling and mild pain are normal. The body begins repairing the tissue. Pain should not get worse.
