Stitches after removal of wisdom tooth
I've extracted my wisdom tooth on last Saturday and 5days medication is on. I was given 3stitches. While eating and talking there is discomfort and pain exists around the stitches. I was told to rinse my mouth with saline water. I'm doing it but still feel discomfort while rinsing. I've been asked to come after 7days for removal of stitches. Please advise.

Continue hot water gargles with salt. Avoid hard things and get your stitches removed from 8th to 10 th day of extraction.
