hi thanks for your query at hcm
its good you dont have pain or swelling..
if tooth extraction is done in non-traumatic way as far as possible than post extraction symptoms will be less..
it will take around a week for superficial healing of a extraction socket..
but bone regeneration could take 6 months...
if you want to go for a artificial tooth replacement you can go after 10 to 15 days to your dentist .. he will thoroughly analyse the socket and will suggest you..
do saline rinses for better healing..
hope it will help you..
take care...
