Depends on the type of surgery, usually a dental extraction site takes 4-6 weeks for the bone to fill in, I usually follow up with post operative patients depending on how they heal individually Hope that helps, Dr Satko
Depends on the type of surgery you had. Generally speaking, after the 1st 3 days things should be getting better.
