Melissa asked in HealthDental · 8 years ago

A week ago I got my wisdom teeth removed, and today a stitch fell out?

Is that normal or should I be concerned?

    Perfectly normal - dissolvable stitches fall out after 7-10 days. Nothing needs to be done about it.

    Yes, that's perfectly normal. My stitches fell out 4 days after I got my teeth removed. If you are concerned about the hole that may be left behind right now, you should swish your mouth gently with warm water and salt. This helps the holes heal faster and gets rid of any stuck food.

    Hope this helps. And good luck!
