How long does it take for...?!


Question: I just got my teeth pulled like 4 hours ago. I got 5 pulled and they stitched up my gums. I was really groggy and mean when I woke up. When I got home I was bleeding and the mouth was stuffed with gauze. I was just wondering, how long will it take for my stitches to heal? And when should I go back to school?

The area of the stitches will heal slowly. It will all be healed in about 2 weeks! But don't worry about that. Take IB for a pain reliever and go to school on Monday. It will be fine. Do not use a straw or smoke or spit. As this will dislodge any clots and you will have what is known as "dry socket". For the next 24 hours do not brush your teeth. Then brush but be careful around the areas where the teeth were removed
