Answers:
It shouldn't hurt for too long, I've had two teeth extracted and they stopped hurting the same day. The bleeding usually stops within a couple of hours.
For the first extraction, I ignored the dentists advice and smoked. The socket got infected and I had to go back to the dentist and have all the pus (which tasted foul) sucked out, and then had it packed with clove soaked rags. The hole still hasn't healed totally and I have to be careful that it doesn't get infected. When it got infected it felt like my whole head was on fire and it pulsated with incredible pain.
For the second extraction, I didn't smoke for the full 10 days afterwards, and it didn't get infected. It hurt much less and healed 10x quicker.
Please try not to smoke, it really can make it much worse.
