I had my wisdom teeth cut out monday?!
Question: and now where I have been stitched seems to be desolving already? IS THIS NORMAL?! I'm so paranoid that my stitches will desolve too soon and the wound will open back up. I didnt smoke for 3 days like they told me too, and i really am trying to just quit. I havent smoked a lot at all. ahh im just afraid of dry socket lol. please help!

Yes, It is normal for your stiches to be dissolving already! You can still get a dry socket after 3 days from smoking. Just try not to drink out of a straw. No "sucking" method for about a week. Just be careful what you eat and try not to get food stuck in the socket. If the bloodclot stays in you should be 90% socket free, but there still could be that 10% something small gets in! Just chew slowly! No chips or pieces of food that crumble!
When I got mine out, it took few days and the stitches had dissolved.
Also don't use straws.
