Wisdom teeth sutures?!
Question: Wisdom teeth sutures!?
i got my wisdom tooth extracted on wednesday (only one of them) and the dentist put sutures in i think he said they would fall out in a couple days but i cant really remember!. questions: how long does it usually take for them to come out (he said come out not dissolve)!. Also when will i be able to brush that part of my mouth, i've been brushing my teeth just not that upper left part!. ok thanks in advance!. ooh yea and for how many days do i have to do the warm salt water swish!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It depends on what kind of sutures the dentist used as to how quick they will dissolve!. Plain gut will go away in about 4-7 days, Chromic 5-10 days, and Vicral can take weeks!.
If they start to bother you after about 5 days you can just carefully snip them out or go back and have them do it!.
Use the salt water rinse a few times a day for about a week and you can brush now just be very careful around that spot!.
Don't use straws or smoke because they can cause a dry socket!.
When in doubt call your dentist back!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

the ones I had dissolved in 4 days!.
keep on the warm salt water, and be careful not to suck out the scar tissue by sipping on straws, or hard candy, your toothbrush, or dislodging it with your tongue!. When you knock out the scab forming, you risk getting a dry socket, and that hurts like Crazy!
I went ahead and did the swish thing (doc gave me antibiotic swish) for two weeks after, until I ran out of swish!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
