Oral Stitches dissolving?!


Question: Oral Stitches dissolving?
I just got a little growth (doctors just think its my gum never healed properly after baby tooth was lost, just doing a biopsy incase.) removed from my mouth a few hours ago. I'm scared i might have accidently dissolved the stitches? I just used some cool water to flush the germs out and what not. I can see the knot but not the other stitches. Do they dissolve this fast?

Answers:

Mine took week and a half to dissolve. So no they do not dissolve that fast dont worry they will come out in time....rinse your mouth with salt water to help keep it clean. =) Good luckk

Just had the last of mine dissolve



Self dissolving stitches usually dissolve in 1 week.



No they take a long time to dissolve. Don't worry they are still there.
