I think it all depends on the person. I have had two teeth pulled in the past, wisdom teeth, and each time I had different experiences. With the first one, I was only sore for a few days. With the second one, I was sore for a few weeks. I wasn't in any pain, but my gums were very tender. I wouldn't be alarmed, if you aren't in any pain. Just avoid chewing in the spot, to let the gum heal.

about a week

for me when i got my two teeth pulled out, my mouth was sore for about a week and the spot my tooth was pulled out of was sensitive to heat and cold. my gums felt better after about 12 days and everything was better. i took advil to get rid of the soreness.
