Hi. I got my wisdom removed Friday evening due to an infected wisdom tooth. Im worried about getting dry sockets. I also noticed that it still looks infected even if my molar was removed. My doctor gave my antibiotics. Is it normal for me to feel/see the stitches move? When will I know if I have dry sockets or not?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it is normal to have some pain and tenderness at the site of wisdom tooth extraction for a period of a week to even ten days. Stitches can at times move or fall off if not placed properly. As it is about a week of extraction, and in case if there is no severe pain then the chances of Chat Doctor.
