The dissolvable stitches vary in time that it will completely go away!. I had 4 of my wisdom teeth out 4 weeks ago and in one area, the stitches went away in less than a week, 2 others in like a week, and the last one took about a week and a half before it dissolved!. And most of the time, most of it will be gone by a week but still have the ends hanging there!. Like you, the same thing happened with me!. Just leave it alone and don't bother it!. If you try to tug on it or anything, it will make the site bleed!. It will fall out soon on its own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
