Can we remove stitches after WT work
I had removed my upper right wisdom tooth in July. No stitches done. It was healing good. On August, I noticed some hard bumps on that gum. Went back to OMFS in Aug, and he said it will absorb on it's own. If not, told me to come back in 2 weeks. I waited till last week. Went back on oct 12 and he shaved it down those bone fragments with anesthesia shots. He shaved it down so aggressively. I had 2 of those bumps. He put stitches too. He said it's dissolvable stitches. He said it will dissolve in one week, but it doesn't. It was giving some sharp pinch like pain in that area. I had a core build and temporary crown procedure on lower molar from my dentist on Wednesday. When I was at my dentist office, he said he will remove those stitches and I don't need to go back to OMFS.he said it's dissolvable, may dissolve in few weeks.If it bothers you, I will remove those. And he took off those stiches as I had sharp pinch like feel.Is it ok to take off the stitches after 10 days?Will area heal?
