Chill out :) It takes 10 to 15 days before they pop out! If they haven't by day 15 go to the dentist and have them removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry its common, it just mean the sutures did not dissolve, and for the most part sometimes they fall out while brushing your teeth!. Just make an appointment w/ your dentist and its really easy to take them out!.!.!. I do it all the time!.!.!. just keep the area clean, do warm salt water rinses!.!.!. that's your best bet, unless you feel like cutting it in the middle and then pulling the knott, but don't pull the knott through the gum tissue again, pull the knott up away from the tissue and that's it! But I still reccommend to go see your dentist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It depends on what type of suture material was used!. You wouldn' t happen to know whether it was silk (non resorbable and should be removed about a week after surgery) or gut (resorbable on its own and you don't need to worry about it)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yeah they stay in there awhile!. I've had some in my mouth for months and the doctor finally had to cut them out!. your fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If they are dissolvable stitches try drinking warm/ hot drinks and this will help them to dissolveWww@Answer-Health@Com
